Rust wins "Most loved" for the third year in row!
- AstralStorm 9y agoAnd yet corporates still don't use it and schools don't teach it. This shows how much power opinions have.
- eitland 9y ago> This shows how much power management opinions have. Or how little power developer opinions have. Then again, -managing developers is like herding cats I heard so I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of small Rust projects hidden in the undergrowth.
- cup-of-tea 9y agoIt took decades for Python to be as popular as it should have been. Now it's got the point that it's overhyped. So maybe give it 20 years?
- el_cid 9y agooverhyped? why?
- cup-of-tea 9y agoIt's got to the point that people think their grandma should be learning Python and it's a big buzzword in business at the moment.
- steveklabnik 9y agoThere are over 100 companies who are willing to put their logo on our website, and others we know about but can’t say, including Fortune 500 companies. Dropbox just went public and their project in Rust (and Go) was cited as a reason for their increased profitability. There have also been multiple university classes in Rust. It’s a start. (Also, this survey never claimed to be measuring either of those metrics...)
- purple-again 9y agoWe have been using Rust in production for around 2 years now (yes its been a bumpy ride...) at a big stuffy old school finance company that I'm sorry doesn't want their logo on your website. The Rust code is not only mission critical, it is literally THE defining factor that has won us several very large contracts now. I make no attempt to compare Rust to other alternatives in its class, we chose it because we were developing primarily with Ruby/Ember at the time and it felt like a natural fit.
