What? Rust has less than 5 full time paid devs. And with the fall of Mozilla it's shrinking. But yeah external contributors summed up are a big human resource

- mhh__ 6y agoBut how many companies outside Mozilla use rust in a capacity to contribute to the compiler, standard library, and crate ecosystem? e.g. Now rust is in chromium if Google want stuff fixing they can pay for it to be done in the same way that Linux is developed mainly by 9-5ers not working directly for the Linux project specifically. D has no paid developers at all full time IIRC (Walter Bright is living off his empire empire I think). Go has Google's direct backing, which is more what I was pointing towards.
- qzw 6y agoAccording to the recent blog post that was on the front page, Chromium is still exploring the possibility of using Rust. They’ve yet to commit.
