Three years of Rust - A look around
summary
Rust reaches production in three years: the toolchain (rustc on LLVM, Cargo and the crates.io registry, rust-gdb, a tested Book and doc-tests) ships on a six‑week cycle, the RFC process exceeds 2000 RFCs, and the project reports 3,000 survey responses with 20% using it at work and half of those >10k LOC. Teams grow to ~17 working groups and >100 contributors, Servo experiments feed a ported Firefox CSS component, cross‑compile and WebAssembly targets exist, and embedded and networking pushes are underway.
