I think software maintainers can perceive their projects as way more buggy than they actually are. You spend more time looking at the bug tracker, which is (hopefully!) not representative of typical usage.

I'm never sure what version of Rust to target for my projects. For difftastic I pinned to rust 1.57 and I haven't needed to bump it so far. Debian stable is still on 1.48 though!

PYPL: PopularitY of Programming Language https://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html is a nice PL metrics tracker that's an alternative to TIOBE. It has a clear methodology and it carefully chooses keywords to avoid e.g. Python metrics being affected by interest in snakes.
