Yes and no. Building is great. I actually think that code is disposable, but products are not, at least within a healthy delta T. Code review, refactoring and the eventual full re-write is one of the most satisfying activities IMHO.

However, software suffers from badly managed customization, hard-coding, due to pressure and functionality that may not be necessarily good to all users in the system - that's what I'm referring to. =)

Ever-changing requirements, client influence in software development that ultimately leads to unnecessary and often disposable code.

I think you can always teach it a little bit, since for the chat session it holds "memory". So maybe adding/saying some basic algebra inputs it would output better or accurate results.

Not pump and dump, didn't mean to be pejorative. Promoting, or "celebrating" could be suitable to my original question. =)

Because I use this as a technical source for many things on a daily basis. Other sites or communities still "balance" the conversation between all kinds of stuff, Python, Java, Node, C/C++, etc. Maybe startups have a stronger Rust following?

This is indeed an interesting point. I've worked with C/C++ and every single project or experience had some peculiarity: the platform, the compiler, some version limitation, etc.

Without compare language/platform abilities, it looks like a major hype cycle like Node or even Java back in the 90s and early 2000s. I read HN and see a lot of stuff around Rust that I don't see elsewhere, so this is also kind of a "why here?" question too. =)
