Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Hans' posts as references on Rustler, a library for writing safe Erlang/Elixir NIFs in Rust, and on C/Rust interop. The comments do not judge the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

I believe it's a sufficiently-mature ecosystem for production use at this point (as opposed to, say, a couple years ago when its maturity was still heavily dependent on Erlang; Elixir's starting to really hold its own, which makes for an even stronger mutual relationship between it and other BEAM language…
