#2It doesn't show how much Rust inproved in usage compared to last year.

#3And yet, I very very rarely hear anyone talking about it? I assume it's pushed heavily internally at Google, but anecdotally it seems nigh-unused outside of Google.
Am I totally off?

Probably because it's failing and is mismanaged.
Don't get me wrong, I hate dart almost as much as rust, but Gilad is a powerhouse and there's some interesting projects. All rust has is servo, a bunch of cucked-out communists, no standardization, etc.

Absolutely. Reading HN is not a barometer for the real world.

#6Indeed.com has 0 Dart jobs by title and TIOBE is a joke. Given that Google uses about 4 languages routinely (Go, Java, Python & Dart) this is nothing more than internal back-patting with no relevance outside the Googleplex.

Yeah, this is my impression too. This is the first mention of it I think I've heard in the last year, and I'm in the web development scene. Meanwhile I seemingly can't get away from rust mentions, which seems to have people really excited.

#8Dart's fascinating. It feels high level and object-oriented like Python, and can be used both web server- and client-side. Check it out!

I have the impression that Dart's lunch got eaten by TypeScript. The latter is the preferred "improved" compile-to-JS language now, and the efforts to push a Dart VM didn't get any traction outside Google, whereas WebAssembly looks like it will be the new VM standard.
Doesn't leave much for Dart.

Why the downvote?
Rust is on 41th place on the linked TIOBE index and I would expect it to be growing faster than Dart from the HN articles that were popular last year. Dart was compared to last year on the index, but Rust wasn't, so I don't think saying that Dart was the second fastest growing language is fair.
