> Steve Klabnik?
Thankfully no. I've actually argued with him a couple times. Usually in partial agreement, but his fans will downvote anyone who mildly disagrees with him.
Also, I'm not even big on Rust: every single time I've tried to use it I instinctively reached for features that turned out to be unstable, and I don't want to deal with their churn, so I consider the language still immature.
I'd shove you a better data point but people aren't taking enough surveys for our sake, that's the one we've got. Unless you want to go with Jetbrains', which, spoilers, skews towards technologies supported by Jetbrains; I'm not aware of other major ones.
Completely wrong, your description fits yourself, not me. Do better than constantly lying and being your own description, Steve Klabnik.
The only alt I’ve made on hacker news is steveklabnik1, or whatever I called it, because I had locked myself out of this account. pg let me back in and so I stopped using it.
Either way, that survey (you could have linked to it) has some issues.

Select the "Learning to Code" tab.
> Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)
It describes two check marks, yet only has a single statistic for each language. Did StackOverflow mess up the question or data?
The data also looks suspicious. Is it really the case that 44.6% of developers learning to code have worked with or want to work with C++?
