• [Results are in for Rust’s 2018 survey](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/11/ 27/Rust-survey-2018.html) – The Rust survey team has shared the results of its 2018 survey on the state of the language. (The survey received 5,991 responses, three-quarters of which were from current Rust users.) Among the findings: nearly a quarter of users have used Rust for at least two years, and nearly a quarter of users also use Rust daily. However, challenges remain. While the survey showed that Rust is making gains in the workplace, the majority of respondents don’t use use Rust at work, and many don’t expect to in the near future. The results also suggest that Rust users struggle to reach productivity with the language, particularly in the first year of use. You can check out the results for yourself on the Rust Programming Language Blog.

It gives you the power to deploy your containerized workloads, automatically scale them, and schedule them across multiple machines. It can even open up a load balancer for your service to be exposed to the world (assuming you’re running in a supported cloud). Unfortunately, all of this functionality doesn’t come out of the box.”

And for developers and the cloud, that means that Linux no longer really matters.…The tech industry has a new operating system it values: it’s called Kubernetes.” InfoWorld’s Matt Asay explains why Kubernetes has replaced Linux as the center of attention. It’s not that Linux is unimportant, Asay argues. Rather, it has become uninteresting—“just plumbing.” That in itself isn’t so bad; as Kubernetes creator Brendan Burns recently noted, that’s exactly the eventual future he hopes for Kubernetes.
