I've started learning rust recently by reading "Programming rust 2nd ed" (great book btw). Rust is a pretty amazing language, I haven't touched low level languages like C or assembly since college, I have 0 professional experience with them. Because of the Rust borrow checker and how the language guides you to writing safe code I think almost anyone with cs knowledge that learns this language is capable of writing safe low level code. It's basically training wheels for those of us that have been using gc'ed languages our entire lives. Also because of the language's ergonomic features I often find myself more productive writing rust than java or c#.<p>Anyway, glad to see rust gaining more and more adoption and support.
One of the main justifications for inventing the Rust Foundation was to have a good place to own Rust's trademarks, which were previously owned by Mozilla.<p>The foundation is now nine months old, but I don't see any announcement on its website saying that the trademarks have been transferred.<p>The Rust website [1] says that the Rust trademark is still owned by the Mozilla Foundation.<p>The README in Rust's git repository [2] says it's owned by the Rust Foundation.<p>I am distinctly unimpressed by the foundation's communication skills so far.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/media-guide" rel="nofollow">https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/media-guide</a>
