We're Growing!!!
Rust is a language for the future. The Rust ecosystem is expanding rapidly and in past couple of months, we've experienced a burst in community growth. Last month we grew past 200 members in the community group chat and we're loving it :)
This month, we have 2 articles, a developer story and a blockchain community determined to accelerate the careers of rust developers interested in web3.
