The Rust project's April 2026 program management update covers several key developments: the 2026 Project Goals RFC has been accepted, RustWeek and All Hands are imminent in Utrecht, four Outreachy interns have been selected for projects including C++ interop and compiler fuzzing. The C++ interop initiative now has ~30 problem statements and a new lang experiment for a 'splat' feature enabling function overloading. The Rust for Linux team discussed edition migration challenges around backporting, zerocopy stabilization, and null-ptr-deref guarantees. The Content team received $15,000 in Council-approved funding to hire a video editor and videographers. Rust 1.95.0 was released, and crates.io launched a Svelte 5 frontend for public testing.
