The Rust project is advancing toward 41 goals, 13 of which are flagship. Recent updates highlight progress on the “Beyond the &” flagship: a new rule forbidding manual Unpin implementations for #[pin_v2] types has been added, while several pull requests-such as impl Drop::pin_drop and coercions between &pin mut and slice references-await review. No help‑wanted items are listed.
The team has adopted a “virtual places” model, raising five key design questions (projection levels, borrow‑checker semantics, canonical projections, handling of non‑indirect containers, and projection inspection). A proposed CanonicalReborrow trait and a new PlaceWrapper trait aim to support projections for types like MaybeUninit and Cell. Progress on these items will be focused in December.
