Counting comments per article the difference is even more dramatic
For Javascript it's the opposite; only one is about something written in Javascript. The rest are about language or its usage.
Not sure if one can say that that's an indication of pumping. Seems more an indication of usage.
I don't know what "pumping" means in this context.
Should we take this as an indication of community interest? Community members are using JavaScript, but interested in Rust and what it can do.
As you might guess, it's hard to distinguish between a "pump" and general interest in something. And, of course, each probably does feedback into other.
