+Please welcome [@ecstatic-morse] to the [compiler contributors] group!
+They're working to make compile-time evaluation more expressive by
+enabling `if`, `match` and other control flow in constants. As one of
+their first major contributions, they implemented a dataflow analysis
+to validate the bodies of `const`s and `const fn`s
+([rust-lang/rust#64470]).
+
+Congratulations [@ecstatic-morse], and thanks!
