Mozilla moves Rust under a non-profit foundation Share Copy Almost six years after it debuted, the Rust programming language is moving out of the Mozilla's house into a foundation of its own. Mozilla and the Rust community on Monday plan to announce the creation of the Rust Foundation to oversee the sustenance of the language. The non-profit foundation will manage the IT and administrative infrastructure that supports the open source Rust developer community, and will continue its technical governance of the language. It will do so with a budget of more than $1m annually, supported by founding member companies Amazon Web Services, Huawei, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla.
