The article also links the state of rust survey. I visited the survey with intent to answer it but the first question "Do you use Rust?" only has the following three alternatives for an answer:

- "Yes"

- "No, I stopped using Rust"

- "No, I've never used Rust"

When making a survey the alternatives for the answers are very important. I feel that none of these alternatives apply to me. That's bad. Unfortunate because I would have liked to participate in the survey.

I've done a little bit of beginner programming in Rust in order to try and learn the language. However I haven't yet used it to implement anything actually useful so I wouldn't say "yes, I use Rust". It's been a while since last I did something in Rust but I wouldn't say "no, I stopped using Rust" because to me that implies that I have decided that Rust is not for me, which is not something that I feel, I want to use it, I just keep pushing it down on the list of things to do because other more immediate desires and problems keep popping up.
