Mozilla is progressively dropping the rust project has they doesn't have the financial resources anymore

  Even before, while Mozilla occasionally paid some people to do some development work, including creating it in the first place, they never paid for full-time support staff, which is what this would require.

    That's unfortunate. It seems like the only way to have a successful language anymore is to have corporate backing.

      Well we now have a number of companies who are paying for all sorts of things, Amazon and Microsoft being two of them. With hopefully more in the future once we get the foundation going.
