Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Convex's company blog is linked as a source for a point about using a language before 1.0, citing Dropbox's early Rust use. The other comment is a job advert, not a comment on the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
