He used to be. He recently left the rust-analyzer and rust compiler development teams to broaden his horizons, and is working full-time on a project that uses Zig now (which no doubt sparked this thought experiment).
Do you have a source for that? I'd be interested to read more about it
Interesting, but it doesn’t say matklad is stepping down from rust-analyzer
Apologies, I accidentally confused matklad with jonas-schievink, a different r-a contributor that recently became a rust project alumni [1]. It seems matklad is still active on r-a.
