Rust at 10: A Story of Community and Infrastructure

On Rust's 10th anniversary, original author Graydon Hoare reflects on its journey. It's not just a programming language story, but a narrative of a vast community building and maintaining shared technical infrastructure. Rust's success stems from the need for robust infrastructure and the long-term investment from organizations like Mozilla, along with thousands of volunteers. Rust evolved from a simple prototype into a powerful language with a huge ecosystem and wide applications. The future requires continued talent attraction, maintaining stability and compatibility, and further enhancing quality.
