Rust project 'dust' (du-in-rust) has hit version 1.0.0

Didn't Russia make a habbit of killing journalists who criticized either the old or new regimes from 1990 to present day? Pretty sure that was prevalent. Maybe they weren't tracking online much in the early days though.

I believe he joined as a late founder, he wasn't on the original team.
