Rust Project goals for 2024

Post Syndicated from corbet original https://lwn.net/Articles/985296/

The Rust project has developed a
set of goals
for the latter half of 2024.

Rust
for Linux.
The experimental support for Rust
development in the Linux kernel
is a watershed moment for Rust,
demonstrating to the world that Rust is indeed capable of targeting
all manner of low-level systems applications. And yet today that
support rests on a number of
unstable features
, blocking the effort from ever going beyond
experimental status. For 2024H2 we will work to close the largest
gaps that block support
.

Other goals include completing the 2024 Rust
Edition
and improving the language’s async support.
