Show Notes:

Sean Griffin built Diesel to answer the question he was asking himself: Can Rust work as a high level language?

“I decided pretty early on that I didn’t want this to be my project, I wanted this to be the community’s project.” 

Sean went back through his early commits to understand how the project started and evolved. He shared why he writes detailed commit messages, the formation of Diesel core team, how he grew the community and how he decided what to put into Diesel 1.0.
