See how Rust compiler error messages have evolved over time :) kobzol.github.io/rust/rustc/2...

New blog post in honor of Rust's 10th anniversary: smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/bl...

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.)

Wrote down some thoughts on how to interpret and use visibility in Rust. kobzol.github.io/rust/2025/04...

Have you ever wondered how panicking in Rust works? My newest article describes the ENTIRE panicking process in great detail! I hope you enjoy it, and have a great day :) fractalfir.github.io/generated_ht... #rust #rustlang #programing #cs

Cold starts cut by 82%, memory usage reduced by 40%, and a binary shrunk from binary 55 MB to just 7 MB. Wins all round if you ask me! This blog post is a fantastic example of the power of Rust. But also of pragmatic engineering choices. #serverless #rust www.datadoghq.com/blog/enginee...

I am giving a talk about compiling Rust to C at Rust Week in May. rustweek.org/talks/michal/ Excited to see all the amazing people there! In the meantime, if you want to know more about the progress I made in the last few months, I wrote an article about that :) fractalfir.github.io/generated_ht...

🦀 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.

Nice! My suggestion for the quote of the week was selected for today’s edition of This Week In Rust. Now you have to read it to find out what the quote was. this-week-in-rust.org/blog/2025/03... #rustlang #TWiR

hello, world! The Rust Foundation is excited to join you on this new (to us!) platform. We plan to exclusively share social media content here, Mastodon, & LinkedIn for the foreseeable future. You can also follow @rustconf.com — they'll have lots of important news to share about #rustconf soon 🦀

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-...

In honor of Kevin Drum, take a moment to read this piece, even if you’ve seen it before. Most people still seem unaware of this connection. www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Chapters 1–7 of the second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications are now available in early release (sorry, O'Reilly subscribers only at this point). Among other changes, you may notice that we now talk about “sharding” rather than “partitioning” www.oreilly.com/library/view...

End of an era for me! Just got my pull-request adding `no_std` #Rust support to #Bevy merged. Once 0.16 releases you'll be able to use Bevy on just about anything that Rust supports just by disabling default features. Can't wait to see what people make! github.com/bevyengine/b...

Online version of the "Effective Rust" O'Reilly book. Quoting the author, "this book is intended to be the second book that a newcomer to Rust might need". It contains lots of good advice and best practices to write clean idiomatic Rust. #RustLang www.lurklurk.org/effective-ru...

Current mood

First update for Rust 2025h1 project goals! I'm excited about the new format, particularly the way it calls out "Help wanted" requests. blog.rust-lang.org/2025/03/03/P...

Espressif working towards the first 1.0 vendor HAL for embedded Rust. This is EXTREMELY cool to see! developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/02...

The rustls team is in the process of publishing ring 0.17.11 (github.com/ctz/ring/pul...). A PR to withdraw the advisory has been submitted (github.com/rustsec/advi...).

I am happy to finally see Linus provide public rebuke [1] to gatekeeping attempts in Linux against Rust4Linux folks. [1]: lore.kernel.org/rust-for-lin... #rustlang #rust4linux #linux

🦀 Rust 1.85.0 has been released! ✨ One of the bigger #rustlang releases in a while, as it contains *async closures* and *the new Rust Edition*: Rust 2024! 🎉 blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/20/R...

I'm excited to announce the first beta of our official #AzureSDK for #rustlang crates! This initial release includes Key Vault Secrets and Keys, Event Hubs including AMQP support, our core crates, and Identity. Cosmos is following soon. We have more planned including some usability improvements.

What they don't tell you about build vs buy:

In this one we learn about using embassy to do embedded development with async Rust: youtu.be/pDd5mXBF4tY

Huge congrats to the @ferroussystems.bsky.social team for Ferrocene (a safety critical Rust distribution) now being qualified for use in medical devices (IEC 62304)! And for maintaining a 3-month release cycle, which is *unusually* fast for that ecosystem! public-docs.ferrocene.dev/main/release...

My new chapter of the #Rust book on async and await is finally out on nightly—coming in 1.85! doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/book... I spent months planning, drafting, and rewriting this—and now it’s live! We’ll have more edits and improvements, but this is a huge step forward for learning async in Rust.

Whoo! My first non-trivial PR to #Rust merged (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131859). Just tweaking the build pipeline a bit… to support new things I built for the new chapter I wrote introducing async in the Rust book! This means that the Rust’s 2024 Edition will include it (and more)! 🎉
