Field projection updates detail standardizing decomposition, restricting Field Representing Types (FRTs) to single fields for simpler design and enhanced utility (e.g., for kernel), simplifying the `Project` trait, and addressing safety concerns.
Ongoing work on custom reference field projections details progress on `pin_ergonomics` compatibility, explores syntax and design for shared/exclusive projections, container/pointer interactions, enum support, and initial compiler implementation of Field Representing Types.
This monthly newsletter provides updates on scientific computing in Rust, featuring new crate releases like Burn and Polars, performance-focused tools like InterpN, recent publications, and community events.
Wasefire is a new Rust-powered framework simplifying secure embedded firmware development by running sandboxed WebAssembly applets on microcontrollers, enhancing memory safety and portability.
Rust reaches a production moment with AWS Lambda GA support, Google Android data showing 1000x fewer memory vulnerabilities, and maturing SIMD capabilities.
GuardianDB v0.11.18 features Iroh backend integration for batch processing and a refactored P2P module with enhanced security through verified handshakes and automatic discovery.
Explores the current state of Linux kernel and distribution architecture support, detailing Rust's tiered platform support and its role in discussions about legacy architecture maintenance.
Netstack.FM is a podcast offering deep dives, crate spotlights, and expert interviews on Rust-based networking, protocols, and systems programming, from basic packet flows to advanced infrastructure.
Explore a conceptual redesign of the Rust compiler's incremental system, leveraging "atomic levels" and "data dependencies" to significantly reduce redundant rebuilds across `check`, `clippy`, and `build` steps.
A set of traits defining a generalized "place" abstraction for smart pointers, enabling fine-grained sub-place projections, custom borrow kinds, and controlled memory operations.
Proposes a mental model for `Pin` as a manager for a hypothetical `&'static weak T` reference, enforcing invariants like `!Unpin` and `Drop` execution before deallocation.
Google's Android team reports a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerabilities and significant productivity gains (faster reviews, fewer rollbacks) with Rust, detailing its expansion into kernel, firmware, and apps, and analyzing a near-miss `unsafe` Rust bug.
Explore structural regular expressions for advanced text processing with a Rust crate (`structex`) that enables pipeline-based `grep`/`sed`-like tooling.
A critical look at C-to-Rust transpilation, arguing it's fundamentally ill-formed, often yields `unsafe` and non-idiomatic code, and lacks a formal basis for correctness.
The `assertables` crate offers a richer set of assertion macros beyond the standard library, enhancing expressiveness, conciseness, and debug info for various test scenarios, including pattern matching and container comparisons.
Automate Rust test double creation and verification using the `mockall` library, replacing manual implementations with procedural macros for improved ergonomics.
Details the journey of bringing WebSocket support to `io_uring`-based Apache Iggy, highlighting `compio`'s owned-buffer I/O integration challenge with poll-based Rust WebSocket libraries and the `GrowableSyncStream` solution's performance.
This article explores using Rust's uninhabited types (`Infallible`, `!`) to represent non-terminating functions and impossible errors, offering practical `absurd!` patterns and an `AbsurdFuture` helper for type unification in concurrent contexts.
Linus Torvalds discusses the divide between Rust and C Linux developers and Rust's future in the Linux kernel, alongside other perspectives on Rust in critical infrastructure.
Rust offers a strategic advantage by simultaneously addressing critical memory safety concerns, economic efficiency demands, and the need for high-quality AI training data through its core design principles.
