Rust stories

Rust has become the language of choice for performance-critical and security-sensitive software. This page collects HN stories about Rust releases, crate ecosystem developments, and comparisons with C, C++, and Go.

The community's technical depth on memory safety, async runtimes, and WASM targets makes these discussions especially informative.
