Rust core development team released last month in a blog for a community Rust essay announcement , we hope to collect ideas or suggestions on how to develop Rust in 2020, and said that the team members will read all the articles, and then copy output accordingly. " Roadmap RFC ", to form a formal proposal.
Any ideas associated with the Rust team will be considered: language features, tools, demand, and other community programs and ecological needs . There is also a problem - Rust whether it will publish a special edition in 2021 significant? If so, then 2020 will be to carry out a lot of work and details relevant year planning. So, a major version of the theme, then what is?
- Rust 2015: Stability (Stability)
- Rust 2018: Productivity (Productivity)
- Rust 2021: ?
Rust core development team, said these problems need to refer to ideas and suggestions in order to answer community of users.
Developers Raph Levien responded to the call Rust core development team, in his blog published an article to express their vision for Rust 2020.
Raph Levien appeal can be summarized in two points: Rust provide written using native GUI toolkit; focus on community building, including the provision of better space for discussion, exchange meeting regularly organized under the lines.
Raph to explain why he Rust GUI programming have such a deep "obsession." He has been interested in writing for use Rust GUI application, when he believes that the use of Rust write GUI layer is unrealistic, but later he found that RPC communication between processes is the "core" bond to a reasonable method GUI front end. Now he believes the use of Rust write native GUI toolkit is ripe, and this function will fill a very important position - mainly to attract more important needs for performance (including the authors believe that this start-up time, RAM and space binary package size) developers.
So you can see, although RPC increased the number of system complexity, but he still believes that we can use Rust write GUI applications, and will bring better performance experience.
Community building, Raph said he also agreed that "community-oriented" this view. Because people and communities is the driving force behind ecological Rust language and Rust. No developers, documentation writers, testers and users pay, Rust will be exhausted, even if it has good technical superiority.
