Rustc Reading Club Phase II at CTCFT

Every month the Rust community comes together to share team and working group plans and projects in a gathering called Cross Team Collaboration Fun Time (CTCFT). This month the theme is “Learning” and I will be talking about Rustc Reading Club Phase II. The April 2022 CTCFT announcement and agenda are available on the Inside Rust Blog.

The Rustc Reading Club has two goals. First, to produce confident new contributors to rustc. Second, to deepen understanding of rustc for mid level contributors. The structure of RRC enables participants to gain experience working with other contributors making their future collaborations easier.

Phase I of the Rustc Reading Club is complete and now we are ready to launch Phase II based on what we’ve learned. Phase I focused solely on rustc’s name resolver module. We plan to expand and “read” other areas of the compiler in Phase II.

I will share the proposal for the RustcContributor::new Program and the RustcContributor::std::path Program. Want to know more about RRC Phase II? Join us on Monday.
