Some clarifications around the logo and mascot for the Rust language.

My notes to clarify some things:

  • Note 1: Rust a brown gear is a logo for the language
  • Note 2: Brown gear because it represents the rust ( rusty logo)
  • Note 3: Rustlang mascot is a crab
  • Note 4: The crab’s name is Ferris. From the Latin ferrum, iron.
  • Note 5: Why “Rustaceans”? According to Wikipedia:

Some Rust users refer to themselves as Rustaceans (a pun on crustacean)

Happy New Year, and #letsRust more in 2023!
