We landed long-awaited features in 2025 (`let chains` and `async closures`) and the survey results show that they are indeed very popular and often used. That's something to celebrate! Now `generic const expressions` and `improved trait methods` are bubbling up in the charts as the most-wanted features. Most of the other desired features didn't change significantly.

The debugging story slipped from 2nd to 4th place (~2pp). We just started a survey to learn more about it!
