From the article...

"When the coder discussion board Stack Overflow conducts its annual poll of developers around the world, Rust has been rated the most “loved” programming language for seven years running."

Also most loved by the US government apparently. We got a memo about it straight from the Whitehouse.

Some developers don't need stackoverflow. /s

I would liken Rust to Justin Bieber: I really don't care for it (I'll take Lisp/Kreator), but there are a great many people who love it. De gustibus non est disputandum, as they say.

Online surveys more often than not fail to be representative of anything other than which group advertised the survey the most.

Who is "we"?

Also, the French intelligence agency GCHQ has an entire mini book on how to write safe code with Rust btw.

This comment will be 10x funnier 10 years into the future.

What will it be then, "those 50% of the world who use Rust are not real programmers"? Or "the agencies and the governments got duped by zealots"?

I am curious what will be the future narrative. Care to give some hints?
