Although, in re-reading the above, I have made a grave mistake above, contrasting most used with most loved. SO's "most loved" is measured by "of those professional using this language, how many responded that they love using it", so in the case of Rust it's 83.5% of the 3% using it professionally.

In retrospect I think my point would be better made by pointing at the difference between the technologies being used professionally and the technologies "most wanted", where Go and Rust are in the top 20% of wanted but the bottom 40% for Go and bottom 20% for Rust.

I'll leave the original intact for posterity but what's cited is done so erroneously.
