A RustFest Carol

Explore the evolution and future of Rust programming language through a modern-day fable in this conference talk from RustFest Zürich 2017. Join Felix "Scrooge" Klock as he reflects on Rust's development journey, from its early untamed days to the current stability-focused era. Witness the visit of three spirits, represented by Rust crates: the Ghost of Rust Epochs Past (code from the 1.0 release), the Ghost of Rust Epochs Present (current code), and the Ghost of Rust Epochs Yet To Come (envisioned code based on upcoming RFCs). Gain insights into the balance between stability guarantees and necessary changes in language development, and ponder the future direction of Rust. Learn from Felix Klock's extensive experience as a Mozilla research engineer working on the Rust compiler, runtime libraries, and language design.
