    Our Vision for the Rust Specification

    A team has been formed to create and maintain the official specification for the Rust language. The specification will provide an authoritative resource for determining valid Rust programs and their behavior. The team will work incrementally to provide prescriptive bounds and descriptive details for current and future Rust versions. The specification will cover areas such as the grammar, macro expansion, static and operational semantics, and more.
