Interview
summary
Overview of concrete outcomes: description of Lang Team cadence (two weekly meetings: triage + design), an emphasis on experiments-first RFC pathway, and a push for a clearer multi-cycle vision to avoid piecemeal changes. Tools and efforts named: Crubit, CXX, bindgen/cbindgen and a planned more plug‑and‑play third‑wave interop approach. Personal projects include a Mac tiling window manager Glide (alpha). Practical takeaways: when to prototype in the compiler, how to propose project goals, and where interop work still blocks Rust adoption.
