A faster, rustier Element Web

Oct 29, 2026 By Thibault Martin In Element
Dave Baker and Florian Duros (Element) at The Matrix Conference 2026. Element Web is moving onto the Matrix Rust SDK, the same foundation that powers Element X on mobile.

If agents write the evals, draft the specs, and run the loops, what work is left for a product manager?
