Comments

Article looks in reasonable shape. Some work required.

Lead

- Last paragraph of the lead is not covered in the body. I would move all but the first sentence into the body.
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Early origins (2006–2012):
- Combine the single sentence paragraphs into a single paragraph. (MOS:PARA)
  Done. 0xDeadbeef
- Link Mozilla
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Evolution (2013–2019)
- "Rust's object system, used for object-oriented programming" Hang on. You said in the lead that it was a functional language, not an object oriented one.
  Done by rewording it to type system. 0xDeadbeef
- Combine the first two and last two paragraphs.
  Done. 0xDeadbeef
- Link C++
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Mozilla Layoffs and Rust Foundation (2020–present)
- Combine the first two and last two paragraphs.
  Done. 0xDeadbeef
- The last two also need combining or folding in, but also require a bridge to avoid to sentences running starting with "On <date>..."
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Hello, World program
- Should we mention that the bang indicates a macro instead of a function?
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Syntax and semantics
- Entire section is unreferenced. References are required here.

Keywords and control flow
- Might as well mention comments here as well, since you're using them
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Expression blocks
- "if the semicolon is omitted, the last expression in the function will be used as the return value" The last expression, or the value of the last expression?
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Types
- For inferred types, can the table tell us what type is inferred?
  Done by explaining what (inferred type) means in the table. 0xDeadbeef
- Link immutable object, syntactic sugar
  Done. 0xDeadbeef

Memory management
- Citation required.

Ownership
- Citation required.

Types and polymorphism
- Citation required.

Cargo
- Citation required.

IDE support
- Citation required.

Performance
- Merge sentences into one paragraph.

Adoption
- Citation required.

Components
- Can we describe the standard library?

Web browsers and services
- Citation required.

Rust Foundation
- Citation required.

Notes
- Still require references.

References
- fn 1, 104 - need access date
  Done. 0xDeadbeef
- fn 1, 6, 7, 8, 12, 24, 38, 40, 42, 66, 69, 75, 85, 95, 96, 102, - need publisher

Thank you, User:Hawkeye7, I suppose the use of WP:ABOUTSELF sources in the technical sections would not prevent it from passing the GA? Or is there a need to reference the book "The Rust Programming Language (Covers Rust 2018)" in addition? 0xDeadbeef 06:43, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ABOUTSELF only applies to biographies. Citing a book about the Rust programming language is precisely what is required. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:07, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
