1. I don't quite understand why people love Rust. I have nothing against it but I just don't quite get why the love. I viewed it as Modern C++ with Memory Management done right from Engineering perspective and elegant syntax with package management done right from the beginning. And may be just my circle or reading list, many Rubyist jumped to Rust, and more often after trying a few times and clicked, they felt in love with it.
2. Ruby = Rails. ~8.5% of Ruby Developers and there are 8.2% of Rails Developers.
3. Ruby / Rails are for many years split in love and dreaded languages and framework. ~50% on both side. I don't see any other languages and framework has similar pattern.
4. There are more Django / Laravel developers than Ruby Rails.
5. ~60% of Developers are on Windows. That was obvious right? And yet Ruby / Rails Community has ignore the Windows as a development platform for years. [1] My guess it is the lack of resources.
6. Speaking of Resources, Ruby is the top programming language that is surviving without a Major Cooperation ( Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple ) backing.
7. Ruby 's Median salary, comparatively speaking is trending on the higher side. And also one of the highest with respective of lower years of experience. That is both good and bad. Developers get higher salary, but less company are willing to choose it for cost reason.
8. Am I correct to assume those Salaries exclude any Stock grant? Which is common in US?
9. Visual Studio Code really is taking over, and there are more performance improvement coming. [2] I wonder if they would consider moving to WASM in the future.
10. Financial and banking - 8.9%, are the third in respondent's industry. I am a little surprise how many people are working in that field.
11. 60% of them prefer to work in office . THAT is great to hear. Not every one likes working from home or Remote. May be those who prefer to work from home are just very vocal about it.
12. And it is for that reason 80% of them prefer to have a Face to Face conversation. As easy as it is to type, write, calling or even Video conference, I still believe there is something when two people sit together and communicate. There is something that goes far beyond words coming out.

The listed salaries should exclude stock options, healthcare, 401k matching, et al. It would be very unusual to have a compensation component in a survey of this sort and include those items.

It's actively being trimmed down these days[1], however consider someone like Goldman Sachs: 36,000 employees with about $36 billion in sales. A sizable employee base for their sales; $1m in sales per employee isn't too bloated of course. Citigroup has $65b in sales, with 200,000 employees, $307k per employee. JP Morgan does $104b in sales with 256,000 employees, $406k per employee. I wouldn't be surprised if the banker to tech employee ratio increases persistently (in favor of tech workers) at financial firms for the next two decades or so.
Visa is king at being slim however. It recently became worth more ($346 billion market cap) than any bank around the world, including all the US majors. $20b in sales, $10b in profit, with just 17,000 employees (the profit to employee ratio is particularly wild). Facebook approximately matches Visa on the profit to employee ratio (slight advantage).
