Unsurprising, since the creator of rust, Graydon Hoare now works for apple on swift[0] in "a non-leadership position".

I believe that Graydon left Apple a while ago, but following compiler Twitter, it’s pretty clear that the rust folks and Swift folks are usually in good terms.

You don't by chance know a list of handles to follow to get started following "compiler Twitter"?

I would recommend @johnregehr, @shafikyaghmour and @trav_downs if you're new to the area. If you're particularly interested in rust, @myrrlyn, @ManishEarth and @steveklabnik are great follows. @jfbastien is a compiler dad-joker extraordinaire and @jckarter is a master shitposter (with a side of old Macs) if you're in need of compiler-oriented comic relief.

In particular, John tends to get involved in a lot of interesting conversations, so he's great to find more people to follow.

I believe a few apple employees also contribute to Rust right? Seems to be quite a bit of crossover.
