Graydon Hoare - 10 Years of Stable Rust: An Infrastructure Story
2025-05-16
Rust today is the result of significant investments made by forward-looking institutions and the efforts of thousands of individuals who shared a belief in the long-term payoff of what they were building. It may seem like 10 (or 15 or 20) years is already a long time for Rust to have existed, but C++ is 40 years old and FORTRAN is almost 70. Rust might last that long, or longer.
The article quotes Deb Chachra several times. I've read her book and I really enjoyed it. Definitely recommended to get an overview of the hidden but fundamental infrastructure of the world.
