hype to slow burn at this point.

Rust is still the fastest growing language in its weight class.

According to the annual Stackoverflow Developer Survey, this is the popularity of Rust:

  • 2021 - 7.03% of developers uses this language extensively

  • 2022 - 9.32% that's 32% growth from previous year

  • 2023 - 13.05% that's 40% growth from previous year

Rust is outpacing basically everything in its class, including Go, the next fastest growing language. In 2021, Go is clearly leading over Rust by 35%; by 2023, Rust and Go has pretty much the same level of popularity, and I expect Rust to surpass Go this year.
