All confirmed issues from the original fact-check are now resolved.

Issues Found → Fixed

High (False or Misattributed) — FIXED:

  1. Firefox version incorrect. Article said "version 45"; corrected to version 48 per Mozilla's own blog post. Fixed in rev 7d0e28b5.

Medium (Unsourced Key Claims) — FIXED:

  1. Firefox version number unsourced. Citation mozilla-shipping-rust-firefox-2016 added inline. Fixed in rev abcf6c9d.

  2. 1,400 contributors / 5,000 libraries unsourced. Citation klabnik-rust-history-acm-2016 added inline (Klabnik ACM talk 2016, timestamp 43:15). Fixed in rev abcf6c9d.

Potential Concerns (no article changes warranted):

  1. "Most admired" anachronism. Stack Overflow used "most loved" 2016–2022 and "most admired" from 2023. The streak fact is accurate; terminology shift is cosmetic. No change made.

  2. Rust Foundation citation URL — FIXED (prior session). Updated to https://rustfoundation.org/media/hello-world/ per editor-provided URL.

  3. Lead citation mismatch. elevator-crash-trigger claim ID attached to founding-dates sentence. Labeling issue only; does not affect factual accuracy. No change made.

Firefox version source: Mozilla's own blog post https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/07/shipping-rust-in-firefox/ states "Starting with Firefox 48, Mozilla is shipping its first production Rust code." Confirmed by Neowin, The Register, and HackerNews coverage. The version "45" appears to originate from Wikipedia's Rust article. The Rust Reference Influences page was verified live; Swift is listed as an influence (optional bindings), confirming that claim. Rust Foundation Hello World URL is now 404 — the foundation moved to rustfoundation.org but /news/hello-world/ no longer resolves.
