Publication target date: Tuesday 18 Wednesday 19 August

This technical blog post is an update about the nightly overloading for FFI project goal. It's aimed at compiler and interop tool developers, asking for experimentation and feedback on the splat lang experiment.

There is an existing Zulip stream for discussing this blog post. It's been through a few drafts so far, with most of the edits in a draft Google doc.

Rendered

The Rust Foundation is planning on publishing a blog post covering the broader context of the interop initiative when this one goes live. @graciegregory wants them both published on Tuesday 18 August, if that's possible?

Some minor tweaks, not sure if we should apply them

@graciegregory is going to parallel publish a Rust Foundation context blog post on Tuesday. Is there anything special we need to do to schedule publishing this post on Tuesday?

(I'll update the PR description with this info as well.)

Is the plan for this to still be merged today (18th)? Sorry I have been out for a few days and may have missed an update.
