While Rust itself has always had a strong stability guarantee, stability means more than just ensuring users’ code doesn’t break with a new version of the compiler. Rust in 2020 has largely been about cleaning up and stabilizing features and initiatives that were already under way. While this work is not nearly completed, respondents have noted that the stability of Rust in general has been improving.

First, we’d like to make a shout out to the [rust-analyzer] and [InteliJ Rust plugin][rust-intellij] projects which both enjoy relatively happy user bases. Nearly 3/4ths of all respondents noted that they saw at least some improvement in the IDE story, but users of rust-analyzer and InteliJ were especially happy with 47% of rust-analyzer users noting “a lot of improvement” while 40% of InteliJ users said the same.

In addition to improvements in the IDE experience, the number of users who are relying on a nightly compiler at least part of the time continues to drop - down to 28% compared with last year’s 30.5% with only 8.7% of respondents saying they use nightly exclusively. When asked why people are using nightly the largest reason was to use the Rocket web framework which has announced [it will work on the stable version of Rust in its next release][rocket-announcement]. The next largest reason for nightly was const generics, but with [a minimal version of const generics reaching stable][min-const-generics], we should see less of a reliance on nightly for this feature.
