Thanks for all your hard work on this amazing project. I am currently learning it and liking it a lot! If I could, make a little suggestion? Focus on building a community around the language, the way Go did, which was masterfully executed: Newsgroups, conferences, videos, tutorials, more videos, talks, speeches, more tutorials, books, articles, blogs, docs. All of that, churning non-stop. It's tedious. It's just as much effort as the language itself. I realize that. But it's truly why I even bothered with Go, which is, IMO, arguably a not-as-exciting language as Rust, yet already has amazing library/community involvement and support.

Being a project that Mozilla is invested in; I bet this is going to happen pretty well. Mozilla does community growth very well, and they care a lot about it. (Also: these things already happen to a degree, and I hope they start happening even more now that 1.0 is out!)

Even though a solid package manager was enough to get me on board, I deeply agree with you in that building a community around it will make all the difference. I'd also like to think it will be a bit less difficult for Mozilla to accomplish this because, well, Mozilla's values inspire loyalty, even love in my case, I love Mozilla.
