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.

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.
