C++ is updated every 3 years as an ISO standard. Rust is updated at the whim of the developers. C++ templates blow Rust's generics out of the water in terms of writing smaller code.

- mempko 8y agoThanks for correcting my ignorance! Definitely a stupid statement on my part. The process looks pretty solid. What is confusing is who the Rust Team is and how the project is sponsored. Is it all volunteer like C++ or is there some sponsorship involved?
- steveklabnik 8y agoIt’s cool! The team is largely volunteers, though several companies sponsor people as well. Some people who are sponsored are only part time, or only on the bits relevant to that company. Mozilla sponsors the most full-time people at the moment. We’re working on getting more full-time people, there are some challenges there.
