Rust 2025 survey

Content:

Original link: Rust Annual survey 2025 report / Rust project.

My highlights:

Only half of Rust developers use it daily => at least half of Rust developers must have another language as primary language at work
3/4 use Linux, 1/3 use macOS and 1/3 use Windows => Rust developers are more Linux oriented than average for developers
9/10 develop for Linux, 1/2 for Windows and 1/3 for macOS => as expected
VS Code is most used IDE, vim is second most used IDE => VS Code is as expected, vim surprises me
only 1/4 consider compile speed a real problem (despite all the talk about it)
everybody use Cargo => no surprise
40% are Rust developers at work and additional 30% use Rust a bit at work
1/3 considers adoption of Rust challenging
2/3 of Rust developers work for companies with less than 500 employees => mostly relative small companies has chosen Rust
Rust developers main concerns are: lack of usage in industry, becoming too complex, lack of support for Rust team
