Rust is among the most welcoming of communities to start out in. If you're interested in the language, definitely check here for easy ways to get involved.
The video [Rust's Community Automation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=407nwX6__70) offers an excellent summary of the strategies used in the Rust community to handle the social dynamics so that both contributors and maintainers are able to engage positively and productively, and continue doing so over extended periods of time.
It's definitely something other projects should look at and replicate :)
