2023 Annual Rust Survey Results
The 2023 Annual Rust Survey results reveal a slight decrease in survey views but an increase in starts and completions compared to the previous year. The survey was translated into multiple languages, with English being the most preferred language for technical communication. The survey also highlighted the need for diversity, equity, and inclusivity in the Rust community. Rust usage and expertise have grown, and the language is being used in various technology domains. The survey identified challenges such as Rust becoming too complex and low usage in the tech industry. Respondents expressed their desire for improvements in traits, const execution, and async. The Rust maintainers were requested to prioritize fixing compiler bugs, improving runtime performance, and enhancing compile times.
