There is barely any Rust discussed here except for the package managers discussion?


Press "Ctrl+F" and type Rust.


5 mentions and generally in passing. The rest are this sub discussion.


106 my browser says.


Not just that. A quick Cmd+F brings up this which as you might have guessed derailed into mostly tangents with little added value:

"Oh, wow. The language was complex already and this makes me avoid C++ unless it's constrained to a narrow subset (something like Google C++ Style Guide). No wonder languages like Go and Rust gain so much traction."


Yeah but that is a point about C++ complexity with Rust getting a passing mention.

All programming language discussions bring up the same points over and over again. Rust threads also always have the ignorant question "Why is the language constantly changing?".


That's orthogonal. As our root comment says, the point is that it happens more often with Rust evangelism.
