Interesting. But when I search `"roadmap 2026" rust`, I only get results for the video game.

Am familiar with Linear Haskell (and actually went on a walk through Tokyo with one of the authors just a few months ago). IIRC: still no resources allocated to add the things that would actually make it useful. Had not been aware of most of those, except the dependently-typed ones. Cool to know about the others. Yay linear types becoming known.

You seem interesting, and I'm curious about your background now. All I can find so far is that you're from Europe and used to lead C++ in some major corporation.

I wish, I got the luck to do some C++ at CERN and Nokia Networks, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Just happen to be a nerd with interests across systems programming, languages, graphics, that rather reads books and papers than watching dull TV shows.

Day job is boring enterprise consulting across the usual stacks you might imagine.

Here is the roadmap.

Sounds like a fun life :)

Have found in that roadmap things that would help me personally like making async functions dyn-compatible. Have not found the deeper stuff I thought you were hinting at.

Last year, I wanted to use the 5- line Result.flatten function, abs then found it had been stuck in experimental....for 5 years. That left me with no confidence of the language's dev velocity.

To disambiguate search results in the future, I've had great luck appending "lang" like so: "roadmap 2026 rust lang".
