Why Rust is the most admired language among developers

11 comments

Rust, combined with its' excellent tooling, is the only language that has managed to make me feel like a genius while writing code. It may not be for everyone, but I personally absolutely love the ergonomics, safety and performance promises the language makes.
Cool! Sounds even more useful than I thought.
Is it though?
- In the large yearly stack overflow survey it has been the "most loved programming language" for the past 8 years in a row and at the moment its admiration is only growing. I don't see anything stop this streak anytime soon. For good reasons.
- For the eighth year in a row, Rust has topped the chart as “the most desired programming language” in Stack Overflow’s annual developer survey.
  From the very first sentence of the article.
  
  What's your opinion of Ruby?.
- Yep, it is.
- I don’t know a ton of people who write Rust regularly, but most people at least somewhat familiar with it love the idea of the language.
  Though of course actually using the language is a different story, as the compiler can be intimidating.

  I thought compiler messages being way better than others was one of the selling points.
