Lead

• Might be a bit technical, check other programming language articles
• Might be overlinked

History

Evolution (2012–2015)

• Crates.io capitalization may need changing, check other places on the internet

Servo and early adoption (2015–2020)

• Rustfmt might not need to be capitalized
• Reword and fix link for Facebook (now Meta Platforms), maybe Meta Platforms (then Facebook Inc.), also consult MoS
• the company behind doesn't read as encyclopedic
• uses half as much electricity link might need consideration
  • Maybe move efn earlier

Mozilla layoffs and Rust Foundation (2020–present)

• Potential xref for Mozilla layoffs?
• Maybe expand more on the moderation team protest
• Definitely expand more on the trademark controversy
• Do more research into the White House report, see if it's actually worthy of inclusion

Syntax and features

• frustrated C++ developers needs rewording
• and concurrency: C++ has concurrency, elaborate?
• Check with other programming language articles, a lot of this reads like a tutorial. It likely needs a complete rework

Ecosystem

• Why do we start with The Rust ecosystem includes, this feels a bit awkward, look into alternatives
• This whole section could use a lot more detail

Performance

• Remove stuff in quotes such as "modes" and "normal"
• Elaborate on what is meant by reordering struct and enum elements. The average reader might not know what this means

Adoption

• It's weird to see a link to a category in a hatnote, maybe discuss this?
• Needs copyedit
• Are all of these examples notable? Would it read better as a list? Should we split off into a separate article?

In academic research

• continue reading from here

Syntax and features

Block expressions and control flow

if expressions

• Either elaborate on how conditionals work or refactor it to assume the reader already knows how they work.

while loops

• Elaborate on the syntax of while loops

Pattern matching

• Maybe add an example that uses map?

Types

Standard library

• This section feels like it should not be a table, and it should definitely be shortened.

Type conversion

• Expand this section to include details on Into and From

Ownership

• continue reading from here

To-do

• Check references throughout article
• Add more detail to the "Ecosystem" section
