Happy tenth anniversary for Rust! I have been using Rust from 0.11, circa 2014, and I'm so happy to see it as successful as it is today!
These days I can in all truthfulness say that I don't only enjoy writing Rust –something that was true already 10 years back, despite frequent frustrations – but I am also productive and feel that the language provides what it set out to provide. That's something that certainly _wasn't_ true 10 years back. A decade of iterative improvement is nothing to sneeze at.
I hope stability without stagnation will continue in the coming decades. May Rust 1.174 in year 2035 be a thing of beauty!

Edit time's already over, sorry for the confusing wording: *not only do I enjoy writing Rust

Happy ten-year anniversary to the only systems programming language I actually enjoy! Here's to many more years :)
