The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/external-pl.html
Description:

The documentation [1] contains a list of independently maintained procedural
languages. Recently, PL/Rust [2] has reached its version 1.0 [3] and appears
to be stable.

Major companies have expressed interest in the extension. Kiwi Copple, the
founder of Supabase, has stated his company is researching the language for
his platform [4]. Meanwhile, Amazon's RDS team has already announced support
for PL/Rust as a trusted language extension [5] on their PostgreSQL
instances [6].

Considering the increasing support and stability for PL/Rust, it should be
referenced within Postgresql's docs [1].
