"Vision Doc: The Next 10 Years of Rust"
summary
Qualitative research drives a Rust vision document built from 5,499 survey responses and about 65 interviews; findings show strong wins in reliability, polished tooling and versatility (many users write CLIs), persistent friction around learning curve—lifetimes, borrow checking and async—and a common “bounce off and return” pattern. Gaps include under‑represented Go users and beginners, global needs like translation and meetup equipment, and a clear opportunity in safety‑critical domains; results feed an upcoming RFC and six‑month project goals.
