all these people go on about how stable C and C++ are, and how Rust changes too much.... but then they also talk about how their work codebase is stuck on C89 or C++17. gcc's "codebase isn't fully C++20 ready" gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gc...

who do i have to pay to get a rustfmt that doesn't shit itself on long lines

Useful not just for language keywords, but also identifiers given meaning by macros. For example `thiserror` treats fields named "source" as the Error::source() of your error. If your source means something else, instead of fussing with some kind of #[not_source] attribute, just name it r#source.

once again, #rustlang is the most admired programming language on the stack overflow survey: survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technol...

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust. In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

🦀 Hello World! The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨ We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

New blog post up on the Rust font loader now shipping in Chrome. I only had a small part in this personally but am proud of the team's work. developer.chrome.com/blog/memory-...

TypeScript team: rewrites compiler in Go. Go community: what do you mean your new compiler takes more than a minute to compile? Unacceptable. Dishonorable even. We are so sorry for this sub par experience. Not how we do things around here. Two days later: WIP 5x speedup. HN: why pick Go anyway?

There are probably 4–6 people who, if they had dedicated their 10 years to a different language or hobby, you would not be hearing success stories about Rust.

but what I can say is, I personally sat down one evening and said "I think Rust can be the next great systems programming language" and then dedicated the next ~10 years of my life to making that happen

very glad to see this rust-for-linux.com/rust-kernel-...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but &serde_json::Value implements serde::Deserializer

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust. From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

Not a surprise that we love Rust at @oxide.computer! It's ecosystem of crates is a great strength. Last night @bcantrill.bsky.social and I spoke with our colleague @sunshowers.io, @elizas.website, and @steveklabnik.com about the crates we love. Lotta great stuff out there! youtu.be/BTnrXDjxbBw

The Rust ecosystem is amazing, but it can be hard to discover new crates. Today @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by our colleagues @elizas.website and @sunshowers.io, who will offer their wisdom and walk us through some crates you should know. Join us, 5p Pacific! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

why Rust is the greatest programming language of all time, in one screenshot

A somewhat unusual / less formal talk from me at CppNorth about both #CarbonLang and #CPlusPlus is up! youtu.be/8SGMy9ENGz8 I hope you all enjoy it, I enjoy these weird corners of language design.

Fact check: Concepts of a plan were added in C++20

Microsoft has released an analysis of the CrowdStrike incident. They mention moving to #rustlang as an example of how they're improving Windows' security. www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...

I really strongly feel that any design work I’ve ever done on Rust was just an *exegesis* of the design set in stone in 2015. I think this should be the mindset of everyone who works on a programming language committed to backwards compatibility.

The only thing I don’t like about writing about programming is that so many other people write about programming in this cringy “le epic bacon” style. A refuge from that has been articles from the 1970s, when apparently programmers had more self-respect.

I cant believe Chris Lattner raised ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to make a programming language. AI hype is truly unreal.
