Project Update: Lang Team
summary
Rust claims concrete wins: a Tenable rewrite shows 95% reduction in memory and 75% reduction in CPU after a two‑week sprint. The project ships tooling like automatic edition upgrades and the async await MVP from 2019, and ecosystem work builds debuggers such as tokio console; async iterators and GATs are targeted next. Survey data show many users take months to feel productive, prompting a concrete goal of six weeks to productivity and deliberate changes to language rules.
