All of this is done while pursuing a computer science PhD at Stanford, teaching, and other life activities. Sergio has been digging deep for a really long time. It is great to see that others are helping to advance Rocket's mission but as with most open source projects, the primary author moves it forward. This release isn't just about new features or rewrites. It's about passion for one's work. It's about grit. It's about uncompromising commitment to excellence.

While there will ever be only one Sergio in the world, there are many others in the broader Rust community who are signaling many of the same positive qualities. The signal is only increasing in strength as new talent adopts the language for critical path work.

I am more optimistic than ever about Rust as a tool for general use, not just because of the tools but because of the leadership in its community.
