Want to hack on Dutch election software with us? Join the RustWeek Hackathon! Thursday 21 May, 9.00am, in Utrecht! Ruben wrote down all you need to know in this blog: buff.ly/O6BhEv0 Sign up for the Hackathon here: buff.ly/c8VD8bA @rustnl.bsky.social #rustweek2026 #rustlang #opensource #hackathon

I'll be at RustWeek too! I'd love to talk with you all about my OSS project like device-driver or my async optimization plans, but also any general embedded Rust topic :) So if you see me around, feel free to walk up!

We're headed to Utrecht for RustWeek! Come meet (nearly) all of us at our booth, shared with Trifecta Tech Foundation! @trifectatech.bsky.social @rustnl.bsky.social #rustlang #RustWeek2026

Folkert is speaking at RustWeek on Tuesday 19 May! He will walk us through his experiences working on the Rust compiler, 'Stabilizing decade-old features'. More info, tickets and livestream here: buff.ly/w8tXQoP @trifectatech.bsky.social @rustnl.bsky.social #rustlang #opensource #rustweek2026

Async Rust is amazing, but embedded application shows that it is far from the zero cost abstractions we were promised. Dion proposes to fix this problem at the root, in the compiler: tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/237/... @diondokter.nl #rustlang #embeddedrust

Final part of my async blog! tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/237/... Last time I shared some tips for improving your async code. Now we look at why the compiler doesn't do it for us. I want to fix it in the compiler, but I need your help! If you can help with funding, reach out to me. Please share :)
