The Rust language gets its own foundation

([Development] Aug 18, 2020 16:34 UTC (Tue) (corbet))


The Rust blog [1]announces the creation of an independent foundation for the language. " This foundation’s first task will be something Rust is already great at: taking ownership. This time, the resource is legal, rather than something in a program. The various trademarks and domain names associated with Rust, Cargo, and crates.io will move into the foundation, which will also take financial responsibility for the costs they incur. We see this first iteration of the foundation as just the beginning. There’s a lot of possibilities for growing the role of the foundation, and we’re excited to explore those in the future. "

Mid-Twenties Breakdown:
A period of mental collapse occurring in one's twenties,
often caused by an inability to function outside of school or
structured environments coupled with a realization of one's essential
aloneness in the world. Often marks induction into the ritual of
pharmaceutical usage.

Culture"
