Popularity counts. Find all those languages in this graph, then find rust. https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2023/05/16/language-rankings-1-2...

If popularity is what counts, then Rust is only a revolution in marketing and evangelizing.

Linus Tovalds is not an easy man to please. You're saying he's been fooled by marketing?

Sometimes tech is really good, dude, it's ok, don't die on a weird hill, not everything is shit.

I don't think Linus was pleased or fooled. I think that there hasn't been a bunch of eager beavers trying to write Linux drivers in other languages until Rust.
