Established 'Rust Foundation', a non-profit organization that leads the management and development of the language 'Rust' most loved by programmers



Due to its high speed, memory efficiency, and no runtime or garbage collector,

Rust is a programming language that programmers love most for its performance-focused service implementation. The Rust Foundation, a non-profit organization specializing in support that manages and develops Rust, has been established.

Rust is an open source programming language with an emphasis on safety, speed and concurrency. Rust is a programming learning that started as a side project of Mozilla Research , a research division of Mozilla , and was announced by developer Graydon Hoare in 2010, 'It can provide better memory safety and more concurrency.' It's based on the paper 'Programming Languages' which is a little less annoying.

Rust is so popular that it has been named the 'Most Beloved Programming Language' for the fifth consecutive year in a developer survey by Stack Overflow.

The development of Rust has been mainly supported by Mozilla, but on February 8, 2021, it was announced that the non-profit organization 'Rust Foundation' will be established to lead the management and development of Rust. The first board meeting will be held on February 9, the day after the establishment. The Rust Foundation was founded by five companies : Amazon Web Services (AWS), Huawei , Google , Microsoft , and Mozilla . The Rust Foundation has 12 directors, one from each of the five companies involved in the founding, five from the project team who have taken leadership towards the establishment of the Rust Foundation, and two from the Core development team. Has been elected.

Ashley Williams, a member of the Core development team and interim secretary-general of the Rust Foundation, said at the time of its establishment, 'Rust has made a formal financial commitment from the industry's leading global companies (the five companies involved in the creation). It's an announcement that the technology will be ready for enterprise products. Impressed by the responsibility that comes from this commitment, our development members are motivated. The enthusiastic support of the sponsoring companies involved in the creation of the Rust Foundation has made Rust It's not just about keeping it as it is, it's about supporting Rust's values and sharing our responsibilities to nurture the future that Rust is aiming for. '



When the Rust Foundation was founded, Mozilla, which has led the development of Rust, transferred all trademark and infrastructure assets, including the package registry crates.io , to the Rust Foundation. Williams said, 'From Rust's start as a research project in 2010 to the release of version 1.0 in 2015 and the establishment of independent governance , Mozilla has provided a thoughtful incubation for the project. We are full of gratitude. Without their support, our success today would not have been possible, 'says thanks to Mozilla.

Mozilla, one of the founding members, said, 'It takes a lot of time for a new programming language to succeed. Rust's growth is literally thanks to thousands of contributors and a strong inclusion culture. With a wide range of contributors Thanks to our employers, Rust has become a great language for everyone, 'he said, thanking all those who have contributed to the Rust community so far.

Mozilla also said, 'We are proud of the role we played in the development of Rust, and we are pleased to have a dedicated organization that goes beyond its origins to support continuous evolution. Given the impact, Rust will benefit from an organization that is 100% focused on the project, 'he said, congratulating the establishment of the Rust Foundation.

Microsoft has also reported on its official blog that it has become the founder of the Rust Foundation, saying that as a founding member, it can work with the Rust community to improve languages, support tools and libraries, create learning resources, and more. I'm looking forward to it. '

In addition, he added that he would form a Rust team within Microsoft to provide engineering efforts to the ecosystem and 'we look forward to working with the community through compilers, core tools, documentation and more.'
