When asked why they had stopped using Rust, the largest group (35%) said they just hadn’t learned it yet (presumably from lack of time), followed by those whose company was not using Rust (34%) and those who said switching to Rust would “slow them down” compared to their current language of choice (19%). Here's the distribution of languages across the responses:Ĩ3.0% of respondents said they used Rust (an all time high) while 7% said they had used Rust in the past but no longer do. The survey was available in 14 different languages and had a record 8,323 total responses. Without further ado, let’s dive into the analysis! Survey Audience We’d like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s survey with a special shout-out to those who helped translate non-English responses. Another year has passed, and with it comes another annual Rust survey analysis! The survey was conducted in the second half of September 2020 over a two-week period.
