Welcome

Goal

This repository is an attempt to wrap my brain around the "state of Rust". It consists of various interlinked skill trees, each one talking about the path to an overall goal. You can see the goals in the 'table of contents' on the left.

At the moment, this repository is very much an experiment. My hope though is that it will become a useful tool for communicating about the state of Rust and for describing a particular vision for how Rust should evolve. For example, when I meet with folks, I hope to show them this document and get their feedback on what is mising. I hope that others may read it and be encouraged to close some of the gaps or contribute to ongoing efforts.

Warning: Work in progress

This repository is an unofficial work-in-progress. Do not interpret what you see here as "the plan" for Rust or anything like that. The goal here is very much for me to clarify my own thinking. I don't really expect this repository to ever be "done" -- plans are always changing as the world evolves.

Feedback encouraged

I would love to get feedback on what you see here. I am quite sure that I have overlooked a lot of things that are taking place in Rust land. I would also like to start expanding the tree into other domains, like embedded Rust, with which I am personally less familiar. Feel free to open issues or PRs on this repository -- or, if you have a larger set of ideas, perhaps to make a fork of this repository! (see below)

Forks

That said, in a language and environment as complex as Rust, there will never be a single vision that captures everything. I would love to see others drafting their own forks of this skill tree that focus on a different angle. If you do take a stab at your own tree, feel free to open a PR and link to it here.
