I thought the creators of Rust were creator, singular, in Graydon Hoare. Are they involved with this?
- steveklabnik 3y agoGraydon does not have any commits in the repository.
- estebank 3y agoNiko has been involved with Rust since before they had conceived of the borrow checker and the entire commiter list could be fed with a pizza.
- bmitc 3y agoI would distinguish creator(s) from early key contributors and developers. I'm not aware of the full history of Rust but was under the understanding that Graydon Hoare is the creator of the language.
- nickm12 3y agoIt's complicated. Graydon Hoare is the founder of the Rust project and led it through its early days, but left the project before its 1.0. The Rust that shipped shares the tenets of the Rust that Graydon created, but it is also different in some foundational ways. Graydon has written about this (and also why he left the Rust project) online. https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/307291.html https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/307291.html https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/7qels2/i_wonder_why_graydon_hoare_the_author_of_rust/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/7qels2/i_wonder_why_g...
