graydon

In addition, Graydon Hoare (creator of Rust) has also joined the Stellar team from Mozilla.

Interesting that Graydon Hoare [1], Rust's (initial) creator is one of the core developers.

So I'm just realizing now that Graydon conceived not only my ideal language, but also my ideal VCS!

I know this doesn't add much, but I love everything Graydon Hoare writes, especially about programming languages.

Brendan Eich, Andreas Gal and Graydon Hoare are all gone and Mozilla's leadership and public messaging seems to be getting more and more marketing-dominated.

Like you I discovered that Graydon was behind all these cool projects sort of by accident.

To give you an idea, Rust is actually about 8 years old in total, though it was just Graydon for the first four and a half.

I think graydon is reaching here, while there may be some intersection of features in Rust and Swift, I don't really see any Rust influence at all.

I suspect Graydon Hoare deserves a large share of the credit for leading by example but everyone I have interacted with in the community has been friendly and patient.

Indeed, Graydon chose the name "Rust" specifically because he wanted to avoid cutting-edge language features in favour of old, well-tested ones.

I found interesting what Rust's Graydon Hoare had to say about it: "It's very similar to earlier versions of rust.

Graydon Hoare literally calls keeping a clean build the “not rocket science rule”, and wrote an open source tool (bors) anyone can use to do not-rocket-science.

Coincidence -- I wrote a G+ post not two months ago talking about this same idea (what Graydon calls the "Not Rocket Science" principle).

Graydon is one of the developers spearheading efforts to make Stellar capable of scaling well beyond its current limitations.

Graydon Hoare, one of the people behind Rust is the one of the people behind Monotone.

Actually, Rust was Graydon's personal project for a while, then Mozilla adopted it.
