I wonder why we're seeing this on HN's front page now. Did something change recently in the playground?

I am not a fan of exaggeration. No, it is not ‘near’ a full-blown IDE.
That said, I think the Playground is wonderful, especially for a compiled language.
- edit multiple files
- search across files
- console/terminal
- debugging
- customizable keyboard shortcuts
- source control integration
- extensions/plugins
- long startup times
- complicated and overly nested settings
- run-amok CPU-hogging pluginsBut anyway, the Rust playground has none of those anyway.
The cargo ecosystem is painfully getting a bit too npm-like and the top100 doesn't always have some basic needs.
What do you mean by "npm-like"?
Rust does sound interesting but I’m holding out until the job market begins to grow.
Corporate America tends to be slow in adopting new technologies.
Heck I think Java 8 is still the most popular version of a Java.
