Cool to finally see the results - hoping that future surveys will give results faster.

@Arbitrary Despite having more languages available for the survey than ever before (11), less people participated in the survey than last year (6.4% decrease 2022 compared to 2021). That’s not healthy and a sign that people are less interested in the future of Rust. For the question why people stopped using Rust, the top answer is “Factors outside my control”.
I don’t think that’s a sign of less interest. It’s probably just that it wasn’t shared as widely as the previous survey. Social media gives somewhat random attention like that sometimes.
I never saw anything about 2022 survey, and I do use Rust at work and follow the news around it.
@SorteKanin That’s not just random attention difference. In fact, Rust got a lot of attention due to the integration into Linux Kernel and the multiple dramas that happened.
I didn’t even know there were a survey (and I’ve used Rust professionnaly for years)
@hairyballs So point is, that less people took the survey than before.
I don’t think the survey was advertised? For me it popped up when I was writing something in the Rust Playground.
