For a good month, it was nearly impossible to avoid hearing about it. Now, I can’t find any news.
Just got a call from Rust HQ; they cancelled the project and are deleting all the articles talking about it
Yeah, got that memo too. Apparently Biden didn’t like the name, too bad.
Or it’s a quiet news cycle. It could be either.
Alec Baldwin killed it

Probably now that support is in the kernel anyone who wants to use it is busy actually writing code.
what do you mean? it’s still being used in many many projects and is as great as ever
But are you able to find any news?
Are there any news you’re expecting to find?
I don’t know, but the OP is concerned.
I think it’s especially about Rust in the Linux kernel. There was a lot of fuss as the “foundation” for writing Rust drivers was merged, but since then there has been cvery few news about it going forward and being used to develop new drivers.
The language itself is obviously still going very strong.
Now that you mention it, there really has been like a year since rust has first been introduced the the kernel officially. I don’t know if any parts of it have been written in rust as of now or whether new drivers have been made, but I suppose it’s most likely still experimental in a way.
I know that Asahi Linux uses Rust for its graphics driver but I don’t think it has been upstream yet.
Where is Rust? Is she safe? Is she alright?
Unsafe {}
Because now you can’t write “rust” without written consent from rust foundation. Btw, prepare to getting sued.
Edit: /s of course, what’s wrong with you people. It’s a reference to recent rust trademark policy drama
All I know is cargo takes forever to compile when installing something so I don’t like it
If you want to install CLI tools using
cargo installyou should try cargo-binstall to avoid compiling them from source.That’s awesome I’ll take a look at it
