Thanks for replying, Steve :D
I was more suggesting that there's a story about how Rust became what it is today, and the active guidance that members of the core team(s) took on to take it there. It's a story I'd like to read, that's all.
The questions you bring up are very good ones, and they're relevant to anyone developing technology like a programming language - be it a FOSS project, a creative tool, whatever. But I think from a literary perspective it wouldn't be the job of the person telling the story to answer them, but for the reader to decide for themselves.
