Those are exciting news. Both for Rust and for the project -- I think that's a really cool direction. The web becomes more and more a commodity to execute code remotely, and I think this step will help leverage Website-as-Interface as the default GUI for our programs, and empower us to commoditize it even more. And the Linux Foundation is a very lovely home -- they're dedicated to open standards and great stewards. However, complete lack of talk about funding and "every bit helps" makes it sound like this is actually the death of commercial support for this project. And I think it's super sad that Mozilla can't fund it anymore and would've hoped someone else would have picked up the banner monetarily. Does anyone know if the project has a good chance of survival (Rust is a great dev community, but might alienate broader adoption) -- can this survive purely within the open source community?
