Support Rust
If you or your company benefits from Rust and its ecosystem consider supporting it. There are many ways to support Rust:
- Contribute code.
- Write documentation.
- Publish blog posts, videos, or podcasts.
- Answer questions on the forum, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Matrix, or Discord.
- Financial contribution.
Open source has a bit of a problem with sustainability and burning people out. Paying people is one way that we can help compensate them for their time and make open source more sustainable.
Below are people and projects contributing to the Rust ecosystem that are accepting financial contributions. If you or your company is able, consider supporting one or more of these fine folks in their work making Rust better. See also Aaron Turon's list.
