This article is a response to the call for blog posts about Rust in 2020 and beyond. We’ll overview how Rust development in 2019 has impacted us as a small company using a lot of advanced Rust features for our WebAssembly runtime and tools, what we’re thankful for in Rust this year, the problems we face, and what we would like to see in the future.

We love Rust at Wasmer! In fact, we were a diamond sponsor at this year’s RustConf because Rust is such a key part of what we do and we think it’s extremely important for companies to give back to the Free and Open Source software projects that they rely on.

The Rust language over the past year has made some incredible improvements that have had a very real impact on the quality of what we’ve been able to create. Rust 2018 has been a significant improvement in language simplicity and intuitiveness.

Here are some of the new features we appreciate the most.
