Actually, we are talking the creators of rust here. The same guys who were owning it with the idea to rewrite the entire browser in it. The more plausible reason might be that the rewrite to rust haven't advanced to this component yet.
- criddell 5y agoYeah, that could be. I was speaking about the wider development ecosystem. Rust is doing well in a few places and that's enough for it to survive and exist long term, or at least as long as Mozilla is relevant.
- Arnavion 5y agoMozilla's relevance hasn't mattered to Rust for a while.
- criddell 5y agoSo if Mozilla decided to step back from Rust it wouldn't be a major blow to Rust? I was under the impression that they were still important.
- varajelle 5y agoThey already stepped back a year ago. They fired most of the rust team. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/changing-world-changing-mozilla/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/changing-world-changing-...
- steveklabnik 5y agoThey fired all of their employees who worked on Rust as their job, but that was a very small percentage of the overall Rust team, to be clear. Like, one or two percent. They are still members of the Rust Foundation though.
