Rust Foundation will announce in a month a fellowship program with a grant of $1000 per month and more

The language governance is handled by the Rust Foundation that consists of some big names in the tech industry: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla Foundation and Huawei.

The article was brought to you because people read my articles on Medium.

In the board of directors there’s also a silver member representative and Meta representative.

There are many silver members and one gold member: Shopify.
