Announcing four new members of the compiler team

Nov. 12, 2024 · davidtwco and wesleywiser on behalf of the compiler team

Its been no time at all since we restructured the team and recognised our existing and new members, but we've already got new compiler team members to announce and recognise:

  • ChrisDenton, team member
    • ChrisDenton is a go-to Windows expert for much of the compiler team and is regularly helpful in resolving all sorts of tricky issues related to linkage, debuginfo, syscalls and Windows.
  • Mara Bos, team member
    • Mara needs no introduction - in addition to co-leading the library team, and being a member of the leadership council, Mara makes various contributions to the compiler in her various projects to improve the language and its standard library, including recent improvements to the compiler's format string handling, but also diagnostic improvements and edition changes.
  • rcvalle, team member
    • rcvalle has been working on improving Rust's support for exploit mitigations and sanitizers for a few years and has led the exploit mitigations project group, including writing the compiler's exploit mitigation documentation and implementing Control Flow Integrity support in the compiler.
  • workingjubilee, team member
    • workingjubilee is another prolific contributor, weighing in on nearly every discussion about low-level language semantics. They have made many varied contributions to the compiler improving our layout computation, understanding of ABIs, codegen, interop with C/C++ and wasm.

Thanks to all of our new members for their contributions!
