2024 edition:
(1) supporting -> impl Trait and async fn in traits by aligning capture behavior;
(2) permitting (async) generators to be added in the future by reserving the gen keyword; and
(3) altering fallback for the ! type.
Async: support for async closures and Send bounds.
Rust in the Linux kernel: focus on the unstable features it uses so it can progress out of the experimental phase.
And highlights other goals:
Stabilize cargo-script
Improving Rust’s borrow checker to support conditional returns and other patterns
