*For the data in the “Meetups > Stats” category, you’ll notice that it includes some meetups that are not specifically for Rust so take that number with a grain of salt. The beautiful part is that there is no shortage of finding ways to meet others within the community. It’s easy to overwhelm oneself with all the places you can go to get involved.

In general, think of this area as the various places where members of the community congregate (online and in-person), groups who write code, and foundations. I tried my best to break it into subcategories for things that might fit here. CommunityĬommunity itself is a huge category. Know that this section contains a small glimpse into the people of the Rust and is far from complete or representative of the ecosystem. There was an attempt to gather some of this information in the 2016 survey. It’s unfortunate that we do not have more information related to demographics such as gender, ethnicity, race, etc.

Based on the results, here are the key highlights: When you look at the programming language, how do you know who is using it? What industries do they work in? Fortunately, the Rust Survey 2019 Results provides insight related to demographics. It’s unfortunate there isn’t an easy way to stay on top of academic research within Rust.
