I was hoping to see some SAFE discussion over at users.rust-lang.org, but barely a peep.
With 1,064 contributors at GitHub - rust-lang/rust: Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software., I hope you guys can build some kind of a presence over thereā¦would seem a good time to create awareness, especially with a rewards scheme in the works.

I hope we can change that, there is not many companies discussed there so far, but @ioptio will certainly be highlighting SAFE at more meetups. You will see her on twitter getting on with that. The bounty program we will introduce next sprint may also be a really cool thing for us and Rust. Lets hope so anyway. I cannot see folk saying as a community we donāt take a shot at everything

Oh my. This is all very exciting.
Question: Will all the tasks opening up to the community be RUST or will we see other languages there too?
(Aka: should I start learning RUST, or will my webdev knowledge be useful at this juncture?)

Good question!
One thought. How about a reward pot into which MaidSafe and others contribute, that is divided amongst the top twenty (or whatever) working apps as voted for by the forum, at a set date after launch? Not a massive reward, but something worthwhile.
This would enable anyone with none rust dev skills to take part, and also encourage others to join in who donāt know about or arenāt considering building for SAFE yet.

@chrisfostertv fwiw I think rust folks will respond very well to seeing more maidsafe activity in the community. Personally, Iām super intrigued with what you are doing here and am eager to hear more.
Project status updates are well-appreciated on users.rlo and/or /r/rust, and I include all that I can find in TWiR (Iāll try to remember to include the recent maidsafe update in the next edition).
With so much going on in Rust itās hard to find time to experiment with the products people are making, but I would love to attend a focused workshop or something about writing apps with MaidSafe. I should really read the MaidSafe docsā¦

I would point you to the pivotal blog post that describes how the inventor discovered The language of the network ā¦cracked this project right open.
Another resource is the whiteboard explanations of the core libraries:
A lot of us have been here for about a year now and itās only quite recently that RUST has come into the picture. Itās a testament to RUST that the Devs seemed to have ramped up efficiency whilst still learning the languageā¦it seems RUST has allowed a variety of software disciplines to participate in Core development that would not have been possible with C++
The RUST community should be very excited and proud of the exposure and opportunity that Project SAFE presentsā¦the wild west is back and were all chasing SAFEcoin :).
RUST guys get to be miners, builders and core developers.
