“We are joining the Rust Foundation to help contribute to, improve and grow this language that has become so valuable to us and developers around the world. We look forward to participating with the other foundation members and the Rust community to make Rust a mainstream language of choice for systems programming and beyond,” said Joel Marcey, the open-source ecosystem lead at Facebook, and now board director at the Rust Foundation.

The company introduced the policy change to display the app title, icon and developer name prominently on the store listing page.
