Write the server you wish you had, in Rust. Everyone will help. It will be great. Open source all the way.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a fully functional Matrix server written in Rust already (for example): https://github.com/ruma/ruma

Implementing a protocol in Rust is one thing, the choice in protocol is another. I for one hope they choose a standard that's backed by the OSS community (not slack), so we can all have fun with Rust implementations in peace.

GNOME also has a Matrix client written in Rust: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal
It's not fully functional yet, would love to see more contributors hack on it though.
