+title: "Announcing Tyler Mandry as Lang Team co-lead"
+author: Niko Matsakis
+team: the lang design team <https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/lang>

+
+It gives me great pleasure to announce (rather belatedly[^b]) that Tyler Mandry has been chosen as the new lang-team co-lead. Tyler is a great choice for lead, as he always brings a balanced, thoughtful perspective to discussions, but is also willing to take strong positions when he believes he knows the right path forward. And he usually does.
+
+You may have seen Tyler speak at RustConf last year, where he delivered [one of the opening keynotes][kn]; Tyler also serves as the co-lead for the Async Rust Working Group, and in that capacity he has [authored a number of influential and thoughtful blog posts](https://tmandry.gitlab.io/blog/), most recently making the case for [what reliability means to async](https://tmandry.gitlab.io/blog/posts/making-async-reliable/). I know I speak for everyone on the team when I say that we are looking forward to seeing what Tyler will help bring about for Rust!
+
+[^b]: This announcement is way overdue, as Tyler [was chosen on Sep 21 of 2023!][1077] Sorry Tyler! Better late than never, as they say.
