2022 Annual Rust Survey Results Highlights
For the 6th year in a row, the Rust Project conducted a survey on the Rust programming language with 9,433 total survey completions. Here are the key highlights.
Participation: In 2022, Rust saw 9,433 total survey completions, a significant increase in survey views, and a slight decrease in total responses.
Community Growth: The survey was offered in 11 languages, indicating the growing global nature of the Rust community. The majority of respondents were from the United States, Germany, and China.
Rust Usage: Over 90% of respondents identified as Rust users. 47% use Rust daily, and 30% can write production-ready code in Rust.
Professional Use: 29.7% of respondents use Rust for most of their coding work, a 51.8% increase from the previous year. The top reasons for using Rust include writing "bug-free software", performance, and security.
Future Concerns: 26% are concerned about proper support for Rust developers, 38% worry about Rust becoming too complex, and 34% have no worries about Rust's future.
