It's sad that Mozilla's layoffs were that extensive, but it also gave more resilience to the language I think. There isn't a single stakeholder any more. Instead it's distributed among a bunch of big tech companies. Which brings its own issues, but it's not the end of the world. Mozilla has also never really controlled Rust's development, it was their policy to treat it independently. The big tech companies also don't control it now. This might change in the future due to a weakened core team creating a vacuum that might be filled by the foundation, but the current status is that Rust is quite independent.
