| 8 | +Welcome to the fifth issue of the Rust GameDev Workgroup’s |
| 9 | +monthly newsletter. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +[Rust] is a systems language pursuing the trifecta: |
| 12 | +safety, concurrency, and speed. |
| 13 | +These goals are well-aligned with game development. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +We hope to build an inviting ecosystem for anyone wishing |
| 16 | +to use Rust in their development process! |
