So the survey of 90k developers on one of the most popular programming sites, have it as the most "want to reuse it in the future" language for 8 years and this is somehow a minority?
What is your data source for this enlightened majority that is opposed to it? Your own opinion?
Generally the programmers that visit these kinds of websites, let alone participate in a survey, are the enthusiast programmers who are much more likely to be interested in exploring a new language in the first place.
There's a considerable potential for a selection bias here. Not that this disproves the survey, but generally these kinds of surveys tend to be a little bit ahead of the curve, so to speak.
True, and in my experience these are the people that are most passionate, end up more easily in senior/lead roles and have a better say in what tech stack get used tomorrow. So I'm betting some of my time and career development on Rust.
