Announcing: the Motoko Developer Experience Survey!
Honestly talking about "prettier" in 2022 is quite alarming. Specially when motoko already has an LSP that has the power to the exactly the same thing but would be compatible with all IDE. I'll never understand why it was initially created in OCaml. It was probably abandoned because of it. If anything a complete re-write in a more modern language would be more appropriate.

AMA: We are Andreas, Claudio, Christoph, Gabor, Ömer, and Yan from the Language Team. Ask us Anything about Motoko, a new programming language.
Motoko was open sourced this week, be sure to check it out! There is also a ton of knowledge about WebAssembly (Wasm) on the team, which is the binary instruction format of choice for the IC.

[Blog post]: Scaling Rust builds with Bazel
Yes, non-rust dependencies can be a pain. We addressed this issue in three ways: 1. Sometimes, it just works™ if the crate has a copy of the C code and uses the cc crate to compile it. It's usually slow to compile C in a build script, but it works. 2. Sometimes, we write a custom BUILD script for direct dependencies and link external libraries by hand. Example: lmdb and lmdb-sys. 3. If all of the above is not an option or is too much work, we add a native library to the Docker container that runs our builds.

Why no popularity ?
One thing that sticks out to me is that, while their code is open source, it has a restrictive license, the Apache License: https://github.com/dfinity/ic/blob/master/LICENSE - most open source projects opt for the MIT License.
