Make target maintainers more easily pingable Put them all on the same line with just their GitHub handles to make it very easy to copy and paste (with ctrl-shift-v!!!) the names. We have no use for email, so I removed all the emails, we don't care about people's full names either. This is a pretty big PR with lots of changes. I may have gotten one or two wrong, who knows. I went over it fairly aggressively, removing all information I deemed unnecessary. > [!Caution] > When copying these usernames, use **ctrl-shift-v** to avoid pasting them as links r? RalfJung you indirectly asked for this :) (anyone is welcome to review)
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
