  Your link is from 2023 and references 2022. (It is also much more of an advertisement for Rust than anything else.) The one I shared before that is from late 2024. What are you trying to say other than Rust has peaked?

    I'm happy to revise what I said from "Rust keeps winning" to "Rust continually won" if you want to nitpick my choice of verb tenses. It refutes the idea that the "developer joy is pretty low" either way.

        Yes, you have correctly pointed out that there are some developers who are unhappy with Rust. I don't really care to have an argument as to whether "Rust has peaked" or not. Rust is the same language now as it was in 2023, and 2022, and 2021, etc., and developers liked it then. That's all.

There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses Of course some people are going to complain about Rust (for many various reasons, and had you read the links you posted, you'd have noticed that they all moved to a different one: C++, Zig or C#), the question is which share of it do, and the answer is a smaller one than in other mainstream languages. > "Rust has peaked" You wish.
