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.
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.
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.
Is it though?

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.
Compiler messages are first in class, but the borrow checker still makes for quite a brutal learning curve
@njinx @wviana it’s amazing at the same time it’s annoying 😞
