Tldr; their flagship goals are:

2024 edition: (1) supporting -> impl Trait and async fn in traits by aligning capture behavior; (2) permitting (async) generators to be added in the future by reserving the gen keyword; and (3) altering fallback for the ! type.

Async: support for async closures and Send bounds.

Rust in the Linux kernel: focus on the unstable features it uses so it can progress out of the experimental phase.

And highlights other goals:

  • Stabilize cargo-script
  • Improving Rust's borrow checker to support conditional returns and other patterns
  • Move parallel front end closer to stability
  • Ergonomic ref counting
  • Implementing "merged doctests"
