error[E0658]: ᐸthe thing you needᐳ is unstable, now what? This talk is about me deciding that I would stabilize some features that have been unstable for the better part of a decade.

Follow along and learn how to make contributions to the rust compiler that go beyond a one-off PR.

At the Trifecta Tech Foundation I maintain zlib-rs and bzip2-rs. I am a co-maintainer of rust-lang/stdarch, and contribute to rustc and sometimes LLVM. When not behind a computer, I might be reading a book, learning a germanic language (try me!), or digging up a plant.
