Is it though?

In the large yearly stack overflow survey it has been the "most loved programming language" for the past 8 years in a row and at the moment its admiration is only growing. I don't see anything stop this streak anytime soon. For good reasons.

For the eighth year in a row, Rust has topped the chart as “the most desired programming language” in Stack Overflow’s annual developer survey.

From the very first sentence of the article.

What's your opinion of Ruby?.

Probably the most beautiful-looking language, but doesn't have great performance. Also it's not strictly typed, and garbage-collected. I used to use it for scripts, but now I just script in rust.
