Rust continues to top the charts as the most admired and desired language by developers, and in this post, we dive a little deeper into how (and why) Rust is stealing the hearts of developers around the world.
So the survey of 90k developers on one of the most popular programming sites, have it as the most “want to reuse it in the future” language for 8 years and this is somehow a minority?
What is your data source for this enlightened majority that is opposed to it? Your own opinion?
Generally the programmers that visit these kinds of websites, let alone participate in a survey, are the enthusiast programmers who are much more likely to be interested in exploring a new language in the first place.
There’s a considerable potential for a selection bias here. Not that this disproves the survey, but generally these kinds of surveys tend to be a little bit ahead of the curve, so to speak.
True, and in my experience these are the people that are most passionate, end up more easily in senior/lead roles and have a better say in what tech stack get used tomorrow. So I’m betting some of my time and career development on Rust.
