Gah! Typo there. It's over 50% (66.8%) in 2 months. And over 80% in 4 months. The chart is correct, not the text :facepalm:

Actually, it's complicated stuff pulling together two data points: 1) 2/3 of people are confident contributing in 2 months or less 2) And 50% of people are AS PRODUCTIVE IN RUST as they were in their other language within four months

Given that #2 is talking about people who are all professional programmers and where only a small percentage of respondents previously knew Rust, that's pretty amazing to me.
