Rust India Conference 2026

Submitted on behalf of Niko Matsakis

Rust’s focus on reliability, efficiency, and productivity makes it a great fit for the problems people are trying to tackle today, whether that’s large-scale networked applications or resource-aware embedded development. People consistently say they come to Rust for help with their hardest problems, but they wind up wanting to use it everywhere. That’s what we want to hear!

So yes, Rust is set up for success. But if Rust is going to live up to that promise, we have some work to do: on async, on the ecosystem, and on how we as a community invest in the things that matter. This is my attempt to lay out what I think that work looks like.
