One confusing thing highlighted in the thread: the article says Niko Matsakis is "co-lead of the Rust programming language project".
Niko is a long-term participant in Rust, and former core-team member (https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/core), who's made huge contributions. However, it's not clear to me what that co-lead reference means. The closest that comes up is that he's a co-lead of the rust language team, which is distinct from the core team. Quite possible I'm missing something, would love to see someone make it more clear.
"co-lead of the Rust programming language project" is a categorical error. There is no such position. The article has a mistake. Niko is co-lead of the language team.
