Summary

Ferrous Systems will be transferring the Ferrocene Language Specification (FLS) to the Rust Project, under the ownership of the Specification Team, or t-spec. In the first half of 2025, the Specification team will integrate the FLS, under an appropriate name, into both its design and development processes, and the project as a whole.

Last week at the Safety Critical Rust Consortium meeting in London, Ferrous systems publicly announced to consortium members that they have committed to contributing the FLS to the Rust Project. We are finalizing the details of that process, but we can start FLS integration testing in parallel, in anticipation.

Key Developments: Working on a public announcement of Ferrous' contribution of the FLS. Goal is to have that released soon. Also working out the technical details of the contribution, particularly around how to initially integrate the FLS into the Project itself.

Blockers: None yet.

Key Developments: The FLS repo has officially been transferred from Ferrous to the Rust Project. https://github.com/rust-lang/fls is now live.

Next step: Integrate the FLS with the Rust build system in order to support publishing within project processes.

Blockers: None yet. The build system integration could create some support requests, however.
