Rust has only been post-1.0 for 7 years.

I agree, though to me it's not great of a difference if something is struggling for 7 or 10 years [1]

[1] just for reference, 0.1 was announced 2012, 10 years ago, 1.0 was announced 2015, 7 years ago.

According to PyPL's numbers, Rust's growth in popularity has been pretty much exponential since 1.0 with a doubling every ~15 months.
