Governance
How Rust is built by its community
Roadmap and RFC process
Each major decision in Rust starts as a Request for Comments (RFC). Everyone is invited to discuss the proposal, to work toward a shared understanding of the tradeoffs. Though sometimes arduous, this community deliberation is Rust’s secret sauce for quality.
Learn MoreThe RFC process is also used to establish a yearly roadmap laying out our aspirations for that year. This shared vision is essential for keeping the development process focused.
