Bos: Do we need a "Rust Standard"?

[Posted October 27, 2022 by corbet]
Mara Bos has written a lengthy blog post on whether the Rust language needs to be standardized. The answer is "no" — but she draws a distinction between a "standard" (maintained by some distant standards body) and a "specification".

While no official decision has been made yet, there does seem to be a general agreement that we should indeed work towards having and maintaining an official complete Rust specification from within the Rust project. It’s just a lot of work, so I’m afraid we won’t get there with just some enthusiastic volunteers, even if we can use the Ferrocene specification as a start. We’ll need support and funding from the Rust Foundation and interested companies.
