Goals

This page lists the 40 project goals proposed for 2025h1.

Just because a goal is listed on this list does not mean the goal has been accepted. The owner of the goal process makes the final decisions on which goals to include and prepares an RFC to ask approval from the teams.

Flagship goals

Flagship goals represent the goals expected to have the broadest overall impact. Learn about flagship goals.

Other goals

These are the other proposed goals.

Invited goals. Some goals of the goals below are “invited goals”, meaning that for that goal to happen we need someone to step up and serve as an owner. To find the invited goals, look for the badge in the table below. Invited goals have reserved capacity for teams and a mentor, so if you are someone looking to help Rust progress, they are a great way to get involved.
