It feels almost surreal to say this, but Rust just turned 10 years old. A whole decade has passed since version 1.0 was released on May 15, 2015, and if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering how time moved so fast.. or rather, how you got that much older that quickly. Back in 2015, Rust wasn’t a household name among developers. It was an ambitious project backed by Mozilla, aiming to provide "fearless concurrency" and "memory safety without a garbage collector." Today it's been embraced by the biggest corporations on the globe, it powers everything from web backends, web frontends (via webassembly), embedded systems, operating system kernels (even linux itself). So I'd say it has delivered on its promises. The language has ranked as the "most loved programming language" on the Stack Overflow Developer Survey year after year—not just because it's powerful, but because you can push drastic changes without worrying about it blowing up at runtime. So, here we are: 10 years in, and it still feels like Rust is just getting started. The blink of an eye in tech years—but what an impact it has made. Our little baby is all grown up. Happy 10th birthday, Rust. Here's to the next decade of fearless programming. 🦀 P.S. If you’ve never written a line of Rust, now might be the perfect time to REWRITE IT IN RUST! Embrace zealotry.. or it will embrace you.
