As a casual observer they are a very interesting read, as are the meeting minutes that get put up.
Both "this week in rust" and meeting minutes are posted to /r/rust, which is a good resource for those who want to keep an eye on how Rust is rapidly developing.
The meeting minutes are fascinating reading! The jostle of the decision making process is interesting, but I really relish the buffet of juicy technical details.
I meant the volume of comments, rather than submissions.
And I wasn't comparing to other programming subs, just saying comment threads don't get nearly as long as they ought to given how much activity is going on with Rust itself.
