Rust's Most Unrecognized Contributor
2021-05-02
I think the Rust language is a big success.
When I think back on it I am in awe:
so much had to go right to get where we are,
and there were so many opportunities to go wrong.
It took many tiny miracles for the Rust language to become what it has.
Those miracles didn’t happen by accident though:
each one was created by a real person,
and real people orchestrated them to become something great.
There are many who contributed to Rust becoming what it is.
One of the people most responsible for Rust’s success though is almost completely unrecognized.
