A new [Rust](https://devtalk.com/rust) blog post/announcement has been posted!

> The Rust project is currently working towards a [slate of 41 project goals](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2025h2/goals.html), with 13 of them designated as [Flagship Goals](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2025h2/goals.html#flagship-goals). This post provides selected updates on our progress towards these goals (or, in some cases, lack thereof). The full details for any particular goal are available in its associated [tracking issue on the rust-project-goals repository](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-project-goals/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3AC-tracking-issue).
