Yes, lots of people have started using Rust for hobby projects [0] and their feedback has been invaluable to the development of the language.

Will there be any impact on Rust due to Brendan Eich quitting Mozilla?

How much involvement did he have on the project?

Brian Anderson said it better than I could:

Brendan's resignation as CEO will have no effect on Rust or Servo.

Many people at all levels of the organization are huge supporters of Rust, Servo, and Mozilla Research in general.

No change: http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/224wgn/eich_steps_down...

(The "mozilla" people (brson and pcwalton) are the people to listen to there.)

AFAIK, there will be no changes due to Eich leaving Mozilla w.r.t Rust. If he had any involvement, it was minor.

None, if any. None that can be discerned from emails.
