Seems odd that this wouldn’t go into an official Rust blog when you’re a member of the team and instead published on your personal domain and blog.

I'm a member of Futurewei's Rust team, and I'm in the Compiler Contributors group.

I started these posts back in 2016 when I wasn't a member of either. It's been a long-running series, and there's never been much reason for them to go on the official Rust blog, because they get enough attention on my personal blog.

In the past I have posted links to Hacker News but usually they don't make the front page and get few if any comments, so I stopped bothering, but others sometimes do. I always post to /r/rust where the level of discussion tends to be higher-quality than HN, because there is a higher level of Rust knowledge.

Why is that odd? It's too specialized (and too many updates) to have his updates on the rust blog.
