All the correct keywords used in the post to make it to the front page of HN.

All of the correct keywords and 3900 of the correct commits to ago along with them

I used to think like you too, but then I looked at the Best of HN for 2020 post https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1609415804&dateRange=custom&... and I realized there was no Rust or Webassembly or even Ruby or artichokes mentioned there.

I for one am tired of HN constantly upvoting vegetable related posts. Give it a rest folks.

Imagine 100 years ago on a forum on stage coaches, and automobiles keep getting posted. Yes Rust is the cool new thing, but I don’t see it as a fad. In fact, I see Rust turning into a best practice for our industry unless something like it but easier takes its place

I see managed languages adopting linear and affine types for certain types of high performance workflows.

Already visible in Swift, Haskell, Chapel, ParaSail, D.

Likewise I see Microsoft and Google, will keep their lifetimes efforts going until it offers a good enough experience, even if not perfect, in spite of their ramping up use of Rust.

A good example of this is the Azure Sphere, which inspite of the security marketing story the team tells everywhere with the 7 levels and such, it uses a C based SDK.

They are the correct keywords because HN users are interested in these technologies. I don't see anything wrong with that.

It's almost as if a lot of HN readers are interested in Ruby, Rust, and WebAssembly...

It was a clever trick, though, to start a project using these technologies and work on it for a year, all so that somebody else could post it on HN and get those sweet sweet internet points.

There was a time when a socialite at a party, knowing their audience well, could bring a story of news having just the right delivery to engage most of the others while elevating their own status within the group.

Nothing wrong with it, really, and modern times aren't so different.

Bingo, sir. https://dilbert.com/strip/1994-02-22

Yeah, I came here thinking the same. Looks like someone made use of that HN title A/B tester posted a few weeks back, maybe. https://www.hacker-ai.com/

Nope. The title is just an accurate description of what Artichoke is. Artichoke is an implementation of Ruby made with Rust that compiles to WebAssembly.

Just missing blockchain (but in a negative light, these days).
