@Arbitrary Despite having more languages available for the survey than ever before (11), less people participated in the survey than last year (6.4% decrease 2022 compared to 2021). That's not healthy and a sign that people are less interested in the future of Rust. For the question why people stopped using Rust, the top answer is "Factors outside my control".
I don't think that's a sign of less interest. It's probably just that it wasn't shared as widely as the previous survey. Social media gives somewhat random attention like that sometimes.
I never saw anything about 2022 survey, and I do use Rust at work and follow the news around it.
