I would rather assume the reverse theory. Vim users are more likely to use new languages since they don't expect complex IDE support. Or maybe just: Early adopter and vim user correlates.
Hmmm. That 20% of Rust users identify as part of an 'underrepresented group' does not seem like poor number. I would naively guess that it is a larger percentage than exists in the overall technical population. If that's correct, then bravo Rust! (If anyone knows about numbers along those lines, I'd love to hear about it.)
Amazing how a bigger focus is placed on getting certain demographics to use a programming language rather than focusing on improvement of the language itself.

Where did you get "bigger focus" from? It seems to me they are hard at work improving the language all the time.

Programming languages are for programming, not capturing token demographics. This shouldn't even be a consideration.

Programming languages are used for and by humans. The experience of the people using the language plays a massive role in the success of the language and of the software built with it.
Stop trying to insert your identity politics into everything. Let's just leave a few pure things in this world, please.
Is it just me or does that seem exceedingly high? I'm guessing that a good deal of them are Rust language/core lib developers?

So why are we needlessly injecting race and sexual orientation into something that used to be just about programming? Are we tracking the demographics for lawn sprinkler users with equally bated breath? Stop trying to insert your identity politics into everything.

Rust has had a code of conduct from the beginning too; that's their choice. Its also part of the Mozilla charter I believe.
If you don't like it, tough luck.
Run your own project however you like, but you've got no ground to stand on how others run theirs.
Do consider all numbers undiscussed and not cleaned up for flaws (we'll document the cleanups and the reasonings).

oh come on. just stuck it up, we don't need grand standing on this topic here. Rust has had a code of conduct from the beginning too; that's their choice.

So where were you when Brendan Eich got canned?
