What was Rusts early years like? Was it one developer for the first part?
I'd imagine this is not a big deal in the early days, where the benevolent dictator is as much the language as the project itself, not all technology adoption happens on the same timelines. Matz with Ruby took a long time to become super popular, Rich Hickey with Clojure seemed to be a powerhouse even as that found quick adoption before stalling.
