Project goals update — April 2026 (end of 2025H2)

The Rust Project completed 41 project goals in the 2025H2 period, with 13 designated as Flagship Goals, advancing language ergonomics and compilation speed.

• •Pin ergonomics experimentation: &pin type design, borrow checking algorithms, and coercions between pinned and normal references
• •Field projections: field_of! macro enables field representing types (FRTs) implementing Field trait for type-safe field access
• •Compilation improvements: build-std, production-ready cranelift backend, parallel front-end, and relink optimization
• •Higher-level Rust: ergonomic ref-counting RFC and cargo-script stabilization
• •2026 plan: a-mir-formality, compiler implementation, and ecosystem experimentation with Linux kernel and standard library
