As requested here, we're going to start publishing monthly site analytics for our online Component Model book, specifically an overall site report and visit info for the top ten pages. Comments, questions, and suggestions welcomed!

Wow, so Rust > Moonbit > ??? as far as languages go, and people visit the WIT page a ton. Definitely surprising

David Bryant (Oct 01 2025 at 20:41):

Yeah, the WIT page has been #1 for two months in a row, and in both cases about twice as popular as the second most visited page (which in both cases was "Why the Component Model.")

Thanks David! We merged a pretty big redesign like last week (? the week before?) and we were just talking about how it would be interesting to see the most popular pages after the change.

I'm not seeing any of the new pages showing up just yet (for example, if you go to https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/language-support/rust.html, you get redirected to the new page), BUT maybe this is just a matter of the redirects not being counted/showing up yet.

Clearly rust is our most popular language guide (moonbit outperformed probably because it was newly added)

Thanks for the update, Victor! Happy to generate interim results to show traffic patterns for the new and old pages so you don't have to wait for a monthly November report in early December. Let me know what would be helpful.
