howdy y'all, if you're curious on how people were learning @rust-lang.org in ($CURRENT_YEAR - 1) from surveys and interviews we took last year in the Rust Project, welp -- take a look! (link below)

tfw u realize that the D in EDT/EST comes and goes with the S getting dropped into or out of CEST/CET and it legit makes ur life 2-3% better since u no longer gotta look it up

hey you! yeah! wanna hear about @rust-lang.org being used to build high-performance middleware? today in the @sdv.eclipse.org Rust Special Interest Group we'll have Angelo Corsaro to talk with us about Eclipse Zenoh and its new no-std project 10am EDT/4pm CEST (.ics is below to join!)

tysm to the @rustnl.bsky.social team for inviting me out to talk about Toyota shipping @rust-lang.org into production and our future ambitions =)

today's that kinda monday alignment in an organization takes work!

big thanks to Christian Eltzschig, of ekxide IO GmbH, for coming out to share about Eclipse iceoryx2. @rust-lang.org 🤝 shared memory 🤝 where safety stops!? (more details below)

The #rustweek videos are out! It was a true pleasure to have an opportunity to talk about #rustlang portability and cross team collaboration at @proton.me! Tales of a transformation journey at proton: youtu.be/FMGdrKEX_tQ The full rustweek playlists: www.youtube.com/@rustnederla...

DID YOU KNOW that Toyota has open-sourced a Confluence page to Markdown converter? psssssssst: it's written in Rust and that -- unlike a simple export, it keeps PlantUML and draw[.]io content editable and outputs in a structure that’s easy for generative AI to understand

this is not meant to be bleak, but empowering with the right mindset: as an adult it is very rare for somebody to come save you from a situation you're pretty much on your own; you're the captain of your own ship if someone is willing to stick their neck out, return the favor if able

was great to have Christof Petig of Aptiv share how ideas like WASI, the Component Model, and WebAssembly Interface Types have their place in the Automotive industry =) yup: according to Christof when working to get interoperability smoothly between C++, @rust-lang.org, and other languages it fits!

so -- Christof Petig of Aptiv will come out today to chat about an idea he's worked on for the past several years of using WebAssembly as the bridge between C++ <=> Rust interop interested to learn more? check out the .ics page down below! starts in 2.5 hours :)

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

so! the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium room at RustWeek 2026 was lovely; was great to see everyone curious on how to join to meet us for the next one? see the pinned post on @safetycriticalrust.bsky.social :) bsky.app/profile/safe...

i was told that the livestream recording is available here's a link to that snippet: www.youtube.com/live/dkMosu4...

yes, this was an exact quote :) shout out to @o0ignition0o.bsky.social for the photo!

"so, uh, Toyota has shipped @rust-lang.org now" was great to come out and share the excellent work done by TCNA and TMC to develop Rust in the Digital Cockpit :) huge thank you to @rustnl.bsky.social for the chance to come out and talk about this!

me to my wife after she hangs up with me when i'm on a work trip: "you hung up first, i am the winner 😤"

so! the @rust-lang.org Content Team is preparing for an eventful week at RustWeek 2026. we've got some amazing interviewees lined up :) @rustnl.bsky.social has been so gracious in getting things set up for us: videographer connection, a space for interviews, interviewee contacts!

as someone with a french last name that only knows english and japanese, i feel targeted by only the japanese being translated ;D

thanks so much to Alex Senier of @ferroussystems.bsky.social for sharing thoughts on ASIL D + Rust ~ some neat survey results in the notes ~ appreciate being given the chance to host the @rust-lang.org Special Interest Group in the @sdv.eclipse.org

yesterday walking back from school eldest daughter says she's worried about geometry part of standardized test today. i take pictures of her homework she'd had about the topics, send them off to chatgpt extended pro and get out 7 worksheets; they are all usable

wanna learn more about the road ahead for Automotive ISO 26262 ASIL D @rust-lang.org? tomorrow Alex Senier of @ferroussystems.bsky.social will come to the @sdv.eclipse.org Rust Special Interest Group leave comments on what you'd like to see as topics in future sessions!

doing my corporate annual training as i poke agents to do stuff this afternoon the morning organized a play date between me and another neighborhood dad for our kids wife is now off with the kids at their sewing class

grabbed a ticket yet for RustWeek 2026? i'm gonna be there talking about the journey and lessons learned on shipping @rust-lang.org in the 2026 Toyota RAV4! ...oh and, yes! this is Woven by Toyota's new logo :D

shout out to youtube's ad recommendation algorithm for some reason i only get grainger ads and chinese / spanish language ads for mcdonalds 🙏

~ it's official ~ i'm this year's Chair of the Technical Advisory Committee in the @sdv.eclipse.org. love what this photo represents about it :)

didja know that Eclipse Zenoh already had an implementation in C called zenoh-pico? didja know there's now a @rust-lang.org implementation that'll also work on a microcontroller? so pleased to announce that Angelo Corsaro will come out to share about it with us!

missed what Stefan Akatyschew had to say about functional safety + @rust-lang.org? we've got notes :) was some rousing discussion of what Foreign Function Interface (FFI) means in the face of Freedom From Interference (FFI)!

been curious what a functional safety engineer working in regulated industries thinks of @rust-lang.org? tomorrow Stefan Akatyschew will tell us about what he thinks when it comes to the Rust programming language applied to cars, a safety-critical domain all in the @sdv.eclipse.org's Rust SIG :)

new @, who dis had been putting this off for months; finally let an llm babysit me through the process

tfw simply turning the laptop off and back on helps >.<

tfw @pinkhatbeard.com rings you up to talk about the upcoming Rust release ;D

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/

huge thanks to Elena Gantner for coming out to share about Eclipse OpenSOVD in the @sdv.eclipse.org Rust SIG Elena gave a representative demo about how the Classic Diagnostic Adapter (CDA) works, showing how it helps bridge the world between the "classic" UDS and the newer SOVD!

have you ever heard of Service-oriented vehicle diagnostics (SOVD)? At tomorrow's @sdv.eclipse.org Rust SIG Elena Gantner of Mercedes Benz will share about OpenSOVD and its implementation in Rust

super happy to share that i got voted into my 2nd year on the Committer slot in the @sdv.eclipse.org's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)! it's been a roller coaster, one with more ups than downs. i got to meet a lot of stellar people and work to align us better to the TAC charter

hey, what's that? oh? a Safety-Critical Rust Consortium newsletter drop for March? bsky.app/profile/safe...

have you heard of WebAssembly? made you think it's only for the web? nope! Christof Petig will share about its use in embedded for Rust <=> C++ interop in an upcoming @sdv.eclipse.org Rust SIG meeting

fascinating with where i struggle when interacting in the Japanese language i acquired the language through an immersion method: - i understand almost perfectly everything said or written when in meetings/reading stuff - i sound good speaking, but have to navigate around words i can't remember

"learning a new language is hard!" have you considered spending the better part of your twenties making it your hobby to spend time doing stuff in the language (my grades in university reflect this)

thanks a bunch to Markus Hosch of BMW for sharing with us about what they're seeing in Eclipse S-CORE creating Rust bindings on some complex C++ code another good learning experience in the @sdv.eclipse.org Rust SIG :) (bit more detail and link to the notes in-thread)

heads-up that Markus Hosch will come to the Rust SIG tomorrow (2026-03-31) at 10am Eastern / 4pm CEST to chat about C++ <=> Rust interop whether you're into automotive, safety-critical more broadly or just wanna hear about what binding C++ <=> Rust is like, c'mon out :)

held another @rust-lang.org training at Woven by Toyota :) was great to have representation from the C++ side of the house, to compare + contrast we delved into memory management topics, borrowing, lifetimes; funny that this was what I didn't need to go through much before giving the training!

吹いたww　どんだけ自分を導入したいの

me when i present on "why use the Rust programming language in automotive systems" when wearing the @pantspants.bsky.social "RATS" shirt

howdy y'all, so Stefan Akatyschew of Anori Tech UG will come out and share in the @sdv.eclipse.org Rust SIG about work he's done on Rust readiness analysis for ISO 26262 (automotive) ever been curious how using a language looks like in a regulated industry? c'mon out :) (link to .ics in thread)
