The #rustconf '26 Program Committee represents the breadth of the #rustlang ecosystem — from bioinformatics to safety-critical systems, from the UK to Argentina to Nigeria & beyond 🌍 Meet the group of community members that will be reviewing talk submissions: rustfoundation.org/media/announ...

A RECORD 1,323 Rust jobs to cap off the year! 🦀 December Highlights: - Anduril tops the charts for the 3rd month running - Aerospace hiring is surging (Blue Origin, Lockheed, K2, Space Kinetic) - 120 companies actively hiring The full Dec '25 Rust Jobs Report is linked below:

It's actually amazing and weird that Python dominates AI. On our podcast, the CTO of @scaleway.com argued that this is for one reason only: the ecosystem. Rust, he believes, can build a similarly powerful ecosystem. (Full Interview linked in the comments)

Most code editors are built on top of web browsers. Zed is not. The @zed.dev team literally built a UI framework from scratch in Rust and architected their editor like a 2D game engine. Read more about their engineering feats in our interview featuring Zed. Link below!

Vibe-coding is dead. AI-Pairing is in (and we're all loving it). Is there an opportunity for a new AI coding company that focuses on AI-Pairing?

A few weeks ago we posted something about our opinion that the Rust community should focus on advancing Rust as a systems language rather than a general purpose language. We got a lot of pushback, and I'm not sure we explained our position well enough. So, let me try again... 🧵

getting involved with the Rust Vision doc was superb nice chance to talk with people from different safety-critical backgrounds (aerospace, automotive, medical devices, mobile robotics)

Did you see that last week we published an episode of our podcast with Jean-Baptiste Kempf, CTO of @scaleway.com? Link below:

We added 4 aerospace companies to our Rust companies index this week. Is this a trend? 📈 🦀

Quantum Computing! That was the answer. That's the industry that is using Rust a ton without anyone knowing. Our interview with IBM Quantum is out now! Check it out 👇

Does Rust have the best error messages of any language?

DON'T WRITE RUST WITH AI. Heard that a lot last year. The justification was always that AI is bad at writing Rust (presumably because of a lack of training data). This might be the year that assumption flips to something like DON'T WRITE ANYTHING BUT RUST WITH AI. Here's why...🧵

Hint: It's an industry developing a potentially transformative, foundational technology.

We have a new interview dropping next week. Everyone knows the featured company, and it's in an industry that is actually using Rust a lot. But, I bet noone can think of the industry. Anyone who can name the industry gets two filtra points! Go!

Lotta AI-coding hate out there, but hear me out... If it makes sense for junior programmers to write code and then have it reviewed by a more senior programmer, it has to also make sense for those juniors to have AI write code that they then review. No?

Backstory: I recently talked with someone who I would call "an elder statesman" of the Rust community. They basically said that Rust won't survive if the community does to AI what it did to crypto. Do you agree?

Rust vs Go. Everyone is so keen to make this comparison. But, this doesn't seem like a reasonable comparison to make at all. A GC language vs. Non-GC language. Seems like totally different use cases. Why is everyone so obsessed with this comparison?

If you missed it, we posted a new episode of our podcast yesterday. This episode features Jean-Baptiste Kempf of @scaleway.com. Link below:

So, if you had the chance to interview the CTO of a major public cloud, what would you ask? That's the challenge we had prepping for our latest podcast with Jean-Baptiste Kempf of @scaleway.com. And yes, yes we did ask about Rust 🦀. Link below!

Why did the Rust community uniquely seem to "blackball" the crypto industry? I understand the reasons for disliking crypto in general, but why has the Rust community specifically been so anti-crypto. What is different about the Rust community that makes it behave this way?

Anyone know why videos always fail to upload on bsky? I will be so happy if anyone knows the fix.

One of the reasons Rust is becoming the language of choice for Python extensions is the superior developer experience you get with PyO3. We talked about this and some of the other aspects of Rust as a Python extension language in our interview featuring @pydantic.dev. Check it out 👇

"Coding Rust with Claude Code and Codex" matches my experience. Rust is still young, but coding agents are already solid on it thanks to the compiler. Bonus points for automating cargo clippy/cargo fmt and exposing bacon via tmux or zellij 🤓 dev.to/tigranbs/cod...

One of the trends we’ve been tracking in the Rust world is what we call Rust-accelerated Python. There were a few companies we REALLY wanted to talk to about this, and I’m happy to say we landed one! Check out our podcast with Adrian and Peter from @pydantic.dev at the link below:

Is the new programming language Mojo going to stop the Rust-accelerated Python trend? Mojo: - Python syntax - Memory safety - High performance - Straightforward Python extension story What do you all think?

There are definitely things Cargo is not perfect at, and there are definitely edge cases it flat out does not handle well at all. That being said: It is an indescribably better experience for 95% of users than prior domain tools, and has been an unquestionable boon for Rust usage and adoption.

Cargo is a ridiculously huge benefit to the Rust ecosystem.

"I'm never coding in anything else again!" That's what Tom Praderio said when he learned Rust after joining Parallel. Learn why Tom thinks Rust is exploding in "hard tech" in our interview linked below:

We asked Adrian and Peter from @pydantic.dev what would block the Rust-accelerated Python trend from growing even more... Their answers:

If we could create New Year's resolutions for the Rust community, here's what they would be: 1. Focus on Rust as a systems language rather than a general purpose language. 2. Promote the quality of Rust's tooling and ecosystem in addition to memory safety.

For whoever doesn't know this, Nvidia is hiring several Rust positions right now. They also just acquired a large Rust user in Enfabrica, so we expect to see even more Rust use at Nvidia going forward! More insights like this in the latest Rust Jobs Report linked below 👇

Rust's tooling makes it the most productive of the compiled languages. At the same time, the excellent tooling does not seem to fully overcome the development slow-down that comes from working with a language that manages rather than garbage-collects memory.

Anybody know why I always get an error when I try to upload videos on here?

What companies hire the most Rust devs? What industries hire the most Rust devs? Can I get a job writing Rust as a junior? All questions answered in the latest edition of The Rust Jobs Report we just published! Link below:

"Pydantic: The Python Darling That Loves Rust" Check out the latest episode of our podcast with the link below!

How can you “packetize” freight transport on the rail system similar to how the internet packetizes data delivery? That’s the question the team at Parallel is asking, and their answer to that question involves a whole lot of Rust! Link below 👇

Biggest Rust trends we observed in 2025: 1. Accelerating Rust adoption for embedded domains (Robotics, Auto, etc.) 2. Rust-accelerated Python (e.g. Pydantic) 3. Rust-accelerated dev tools (uv, Zed, etc...) What else should be on this list?

psst, to let you in on a secret: the hope is to build these coding standards in a comprehensive way to scale up or down to your project, even outside of safety-critical spaces

What exactly is the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium doing? Pete (@awkwardmap.bsky.social) explains! 👇

Something you learn by talking to a lot of people who've done big production projects in both Rust and C/C++ is that the Rust tooling and ecosystem are way under-appreciated.

🦀 Code Safety ➡️ Road Safety 🚗

you can check out the full interview over here about why Woven by Toyota is investing into Rust youtu.be/qjXIseet-kM?...

very common Rust story -- get them in the door for what it says on the tin for memory safety and performance then once a taste has been had of the Rust ecosystem tooling, people are very happy to stick with it

2026 will be the year we see Rust explode. Why? Robotics.
