First of all, it's not "my language". I haven't even worked on the compiler for over a year.

Second, think about C++. A year after it came out, were 90% (say) of C users who had heard of C++ using it? I highly doubt it.

There simply isn't enough data to compare to. So you can look at that number and support any narrative you want by making up what you think a "healthy" number "should" be.



Good rebuttal. Especially with the C++ vs C example. :)
