You’re not negating anything but a strawman here. You commented too level on an article on someone simply talking about how a compiler whining about something unrelated to the article.

If you were responding to some rust fanatic or if the article was some sort of rewrite in rust call, you may have a point, but it’s nothing but some developer interested in improvements in the compiler. God forbid anyone work on anything other than some mainstream technology.

You may not be, I assume because it immediately followed the statement about jobs in parentheses.

Try https://indeed.com or http://www.modulecounts.com instead of Tiobe which is one of the worst metrics. The Rust community's module output is well ahead of both Ruby and Go so I'd say it's fairly mainstream.
