+Title: This Week in Rust 76
+Date: 2015-04-06
+Category: This Week in Rust
+
+Hello and welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust*!
+[Rust](http://rust-lang.org) is a systems language pursuing the trifecta:
+safety, concurrency, and speed. This is a weekly summary of its progress and
+community. Want something mentioned? [Send me an
+email!](mailto:corey@octayn.net?subject=This%20Week%20in%20Rust%20Suggestion)
+Want to get involved? [We love
+contributions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Note-guide-for-new-contributors).
+
+*This Week in Rust* is openly developed [on GitHub](https://github.com/cmr/this-week-in-rust).
+If you find any errors or omissions in this week's issue, [please submit a PR](https://github.com/cmr/this-week-in-rust/pulls).
+
+This week's issue covers the previous *two* weeks.
+
+# What's cooking on master?
+
+266 pull requests were [merged in the last *two* weeks][merged], and 10 [RFC PRs][rfcs].
