Let's look at why #rustlang is going to continue to grow this year.
The 2023 was a bit of a difficult year for the Rust community. You might have heard people complaining about a draft trademark policy which turned into this kind of huge melodramatic internet fight, like a cake fight or something. and there was a lot of animosity about whether or not this language is going to get overrun by zig it might get destroyed by carbon it might which is a programming language developed by google and a whole bunch of other things and like uh but i kind of want to say
You know what?
Let's look at the evidence and take a look because I'm pretty sure that Rust is going to continue to grow through 2024 and through 2025 and become one of the central pieces of software infrastructure for the next, I don't know, several decades and it is a solid bit and I am totally up for your sort of rage bait comments if you want to add them.

Rust is love! The syntax is beautiful, the language is powerful, and the ecosystem is wonderful! I am learning and more I learn it, more I fall in LOVE with RUST!!!

Haha I like how authentic this felt vs the over produced RU-vid videos most creators make.

Rust fulfills all my fantasies about a programming language.

I've been programming for over 30 years in various languages. Rust has interesting concepts, which at first took me a while to get my head around the concepts and syntax. After 6 months of trying on and off I started to get it. That was 2 years ago. I find Rust a greatly satisfying programming language in which to work, I know that once I've written some code, I can be confident it will work as intended, errors will be correctly handled, memory management will be efficient. Plus, the eco system is unsurpassed, the number of crates available to do various things are huge, the compiler is verbose and the language servers in most IDEs are great. The downside is it takes a while to compile and dev speed is slower than in other language. I guess you have find what you're comfortable with. For me, I won't be moving to another language as Rust does it all.

Turns out I have been waiting for a language like Rust nearly forty years! The first high level language I used was ALGOL (after some years of assembler would you believe). As such I was horrified ten years later to find that C, a supposedly high level language, would compile almost anything and produce code that crashed and burned so easily taking down my whole machine (IBM PC + DOS). All without any error or warning messages. Later I was horrified to find that C++ whilst introducing lots of nice features did nothing to improve the situation. Of course decades when by using C and C++ because of performance, size and other constraints and well just "because". Apart from excursions to Pascal which was a bit more robust and Ada which sadly went nowhere much. Interpreted languages like Java, Python, etc, etc were never a possibility for the work I have been doing. I'm so happy to see the world finally embrace the values of correctness and robustness with Rust.

Rust is dominating because it is difficult to disregard or invalidate its claims. It's also not your run of the mill language that's the easiest to grok. But once you start to gain grounds in terms of your knowledge, you realize it's actually simpler than you thought. Now you're hooked! Welcome to the dark side 😈

One of the problems of become a Rust programmer is that once you're in, you can't get out
