Image is a very popular image library with pure-Rust encoders and decoders.

Recently we have made a collective effort to reduce the burden of maintenance and got rid of the PR queue. Thanks to people making PRs helping each other with reviews! We started an image working group where you can chat with people working on Rust image libraries.

Turbine is a long term project to develop a game engine with built-in editor.

Currently some components are developed separately and tested, for later be used in the game engine.

A part of Piston project is research, which moved to its own organization when unrelated to game development.

I have been busy the past half year working on the control problem of artificial super-intelligent agents (ASI). Basically, no one knows how yet how to solve this important research problem, but we believe we are getting closer.

There will only be a few bullet points here, the rest you have to start exploring here.
