Setting our vision for the 2017 cycle

62

For 2017 I would like to see two things.

  1. Serde json should work out of the box on stable release channels with no customizations to my build for code gen. This has been a sour spot in the past year as the community transitioned off of rust serialize to serde where rust serialize worked out of the box and serde required build assembly. Effortless Json support is kind of a bid deal when it comes to network services. We should make rust more seemless to get up and running with a good json lib on the stable channel.

  2. more ferris. Or to somehow make ferris more official. It’s weird there’s an unofficial mascot and an official logo. I’ve personally seen this cause confusion. Rust should have a consistent branding. It deserves it! 2017 could be the year of ferris. Let’s make it happen.
