      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?.

          Probably the most beautiful-looking language, but doesn’t have great performance. Also it’s not strictly typed, and garbage-collected. I used to use it for scripts, but now I just script in rust.

    Cool! Sounds even more useful than I thought.

    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.
