It’s not clear whether they will continue to be assigned to Rust, though. At least, I didn’t find this explicitly confirmed anywhere.

If anything, I’d love to know how many Mozilla employees were working on Rust full-time as their paid job before the layoffs, and then after. I can’t find these numbers cited anywhere.

Pietro’s sibling answer seems to be that Mozilla will transition to be a sponsor — I’d love to know whether this means they will keep investing development time (and how much).
