This Week in Rust: 400 Issues and Counting!

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

A retrospective of a weekly newsletter that has published 400 issues since June 2013, describing how each issue is assembled from community pull requests, curated This Week in Rust sections (core updates, rfcs, calls for participation), and short features like crates of the week and project updates. Specific counts of merges and contributions recur, editors coordinate through a GitHub repo and Twitter, many featured crates and tutorials drove real contributor onboarding, and the newsletter consistently increases visibility for small but important fixes.
