I noticed that too, and I can assure you it’s purely organic. I’m just as surprised as you are!

I suspect the project might have been shared in some FreeBSD or Rust-specific IRC channels or forums outside of HN, which brought in people who aren't regular HN users but are passionate about these specific technologies.

It’s exciting to see new faces, but I definitely didn’t expect this level of influx!
