    with a generous $1M contribution from Google

    1M only? Google pays 500M (half a billion Dollar) to their rival Mozilla Firefox. Each year. I don’t want to make this a Mozilla thread, just want to say they could have done more than just a million Dollar for Rust. Given that Google uses Rust as well.

      The money Google pays to Mozilla has a direct ROI, since more people use their search engine.

      Giving money to the Rust foundation only helps Google very indirectly, by being generally benefitial to software companies.
