I also work on Fuchsia’s Software delivery team. For some more detail on how we secure downloading components, we implement a concept called verified execution [1]. We establish a …

ABI and API backwards compatibility is written up here: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/development/languages/fidl/g...

I believe the first major funding by the Rust Foundation was hiring Ferrous to help develop and maintain crates.io: https://foundation.rust-lang.org/posts/2021-10-18-crates-io-...

I’d go further and say it’s not possible to fully implement async/await without compiler help. I got really far with stateful, back in 2016 [1]. Stateful was an attempt to write a …

Could (2017) be added to the title? Since then, Daniel has since rethought this post and is now writing a Rust backend for curl: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/10/09/rust-in-curl…

This is great news! I'm glad Servo found a place to land. Are you planning on sticking with the MPL-2.0 license, or are you also considering relicensing as well?

> Closed-world ("sealed") traits. Rust's rules against private types in the public API are good civilization but they make it difficult to define pseudo-private traits like Mount t…

Original author of serde here. I call it sir-dee, but the current maintainer, dtolnay, calls it sear-day. But we really don't care how people pronounce it. It's really more of a ne…

The official rust book [1] is a great place to start. So are the exercism tutorials [2] [1] https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ [2] http://exercism.io/languages/rust/about

Drat, that must be the jekyll syntax highlighter. It might be easier then reading it off of github if you or anyone else has problems with reading the post: https://github.com/rust…

Organizer here! Aidan actually submitted two entries. This particular entry that exploited this unsoundness bug wasn't actually the winner, even though it was great (horrible?). We…

Yeah, there's progress on 8-bit and 16-bit support. We're tracking our work on improving Rust for embedded systems in this roadmap issue [1], with details in this RFC repo [2]. As …

Good idea. I noted that for next year's survey [1]. One of our big initiatives this year is working on our ergonomics [2]. I'm not sure if we can ever get as approachable as Python…

Rust Core team member here. Our code of conduct [1] has been the fundamental cornerstone of our project and community since the beginning. Every large institution ends up having to…

Core/Community team that helped design the survey here. We actually did ask about this, but unfortunately it's quite time consuming to process through all the free text entry like …

Rust Core/Community Team member here, who helped design the survey. You got it. We asked this question to check whether or not we're succeeding at maintaining our backwards compati…

Servo is still considered a research project, but one of the benefits of sharing WebRender, Stylo, etc between Servo and Firefox is that it is really helping to productionize those…

FYI, rkt was created (and I believe still predominantly maintained) by CoreOS: https://coreos.com/rkt

One of the most important tools when writing unsafe rust is compiletest [1]. It's a tool extracted from the compiler project that lets you write tests that are supposed to fail com…
