- Rust's mission is to make foundational software more accessible to author and maintain.
- Foundational software includes CLI tools, cloud platforms, embedded devices, and kernels.
- Rust combines C++'s zero-cost abstractions with a memory-safe type system.
- Type systems in Rust empower developers at all experience levels.
- Rust is also being used for higher-level applications like GUIs and webpages.
- Projects like Dioxus, Tauri, and Leptos push Rust's boundaries and improve ergonomics.
- Using Rust across the entire stack allows for shared libraries and support code.
- Smooth, iterative deepening is key for user experience in Rust.
- Future focus areas include language interop, type system extensions, and ecosystem leveling up.
