Our Rust and Exchange Community Office Hours start in one hour, at 16:00 UTC! Find out how to join us on Big Blue Button in our blog post. Hope to see you there! 🦀
In case you're not following our blog (gasp!), our Rust developers have the technical details on how we're using the language to bring in native Exchange support in the latest post.
So if you're a fan of all things Rust and email protocols, and you want to know what we've done so far and what's coming next, give it a read - and come to our office hours all about Rust and Exchange tomorrow at 16:00 UTC!
Thunderbird will support Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) natively, all written in Rust! Read about our Rusty adventures, the technical nature of the EWS
If you're eagerly anticipating Rust and native Exchange support in Thunderbird, have questions, or want to know what this is all about, you'll want to tune into our next Community Office Hours on April 23 at 16:00 UTC. 🦀
We'll have three of our Rust developers, including @brendan and @leftmostcat to provide info and answer questions and be in our new Big Blue Button room, provided by @kde ! Find out all the details here: blog.thunderbird.net/2024/04/a… 💙
I think it is worth for #hyper and the #rust ecosystem to work as #curl backend but not other way around. The only reason for curl to support hyper is to validate that the backend api is flexible enough and to have another "validator" for such interface. But probably it is one of those piece of code that maintainers are happy to push to third parties 😅
We've got a new Developer Digest, and this one is full of updates on Rust and Exchange support, a better mailing list subscription experience, and a successful ESMification! 🎉
So when is native Exchange Support coming to Thunderbird - and what role does Rust play? Get the answer in this clip from our most recent office hours! 📼 🦀
Also, this video and ALL our videos going forward will have German subtitles. Ausgezeichnet! 🇩🇪
Is support for Microsoft's Exchange protocol coming to the desktop version of Thunderbird? What about K-9 Mail and Thunderbird for Android? What's the timeline? Here's your answer in a short video clip from our recent Community Office Hours session.
With the upcoming stabilization of the diagnostic namespace, I want to take stock of the compile time error messages generated by diesel and see what messages can be improved.
Diesel is known for sometimes generating sub-optimal compile time error messages. With the upcoming stabilization of the #[diagnostic] attribute namespace and the #[diagnostic::on_unimplemented] at...
This project needs more/new maintainers. I took over maintainership in 2019 (IIRC) during a project at my employer back then, because I needed fixes/changes in this crate to fulfill my task at work...
A few weeks ago, I introduced and fixed a bug where I accidentally checked if a string literal, instead of a vector, was empty, jokingly saying that I blamed Clippy for not having a lint against it. Following a suggestion from @zeenix, I created a feature request, and it's now actually implemented. This means that Clippy will now warn you if you try to call `is_empty` on a string. rust-lang.github.io/rust-clipp…
The new GStreamer 1.24 release is also the first that has a Rust component as part of core, in addition to all the plugins that were already part of previous releases.
Over the last months the Rust/cargo support in meson improved a lot.
It's now ready to build and install a GTK4 Rust application with around 70 dependencies without having to write almost any custom build glue for the dependencies.
The application in question is just a small experiment of mine for rayon and GTK4 input handling / rendering. The more or less same should work for other GTK4 applications at this point.
All this still depends on two unmerged meson PRs, but it's a huge step forward from the situation just a few months ago.
I hope in the future this will allow GNOME applications written in Rust to have a less strange and fragile build setup than what they have right now with mixing cargo and meson.
In the past few weeks, I spent a bit of time on a set of #OpenPGP hobby projects around #rpgp (github.com/rpgp/rpgp/). Today I'm happy to announce:
rsop v0.1.0 (crates.io/crates/rsop), an early stage "stateless OpenPGP" tool based on rpgp.
Relatedly, I also released rpgpie 🦀️🔐🥧 v0.0.1 (crates.io/crates/rpgpie), an experimental high level OpenPGP API based on rpgp (rsop is built on top of rpgpie).
News from the machine room: the pure #rust end-to-end encryption engine, "rpgp", saw quite some work and a new release in recent weeks and now @hko released a higher level "rpgpie" interface for application developers ( see fosstodon.org/@hko/11199799800… ) which also powers running the IETF #OpenPGP #interoperability test suite quite successfully .... Delta Chat's security-audited encryption engine is in fact used from several other projects and in other contexts these days and we are happy about it!

The Rust Foundation was formed in 2021 as an independent, non-profit organization to serve as a steward of the Rust programming language and its users, maintainers, and enterprise advocates.
My company, @pneumasolutions, is looking for a developer to work for us on a contract basis, to enhance the screen capture and mouse input implementations in our remote desktop product (pneumasolutions.com/products/r…). This project will involve #rust, #webrtc, native Windows and macOS APIs, and integration with an existing Electron app. A more detailed high-level spec is available to qualified candidates. Please email employment@pneumasolutions.com if you're interested and available.
At Pneuma Solutions we provide a seamless bridge between assistive technology and mission critical applications. Our line of products was built with stability…
#Keyoxide will be at #FOSDEM! I'll be giving a lightning talk on how the new profiles work, and how to write a short #rust script to create and upload a profile from scratch!
Playing around with Cairo, using the Rust bindings! I don't have any practical ideas to utilize what I'm learning yet, but it's fun to experiment with nonetheless ✏️
My reaction when I discover a meson.build script running "cargo build" in the repository of the first example program I opened from the ones listed on the gtk-rs documentation page.
Is this common in the rust world when interacting with primarily C based libraries?
Have you ever tried to compile a helloworld Rust program in --release mode? If yes, have you seen its binary size? Suffice to say, it’s not exactly small. Or at least it wasn’t small until recently.
#Hugo's slogan of being "The world’s fastest framework for building websites" is a shameless lie.
It has been raised up 3 times on Github with benchmarks showing that other full-featured static site generators like #Zola (#Rust) are faster, sometimes by 10x. Each time, the issue is closed and locked.
I migrated a couple of websites from Hugo to Zola and won't look back.
Feel free to ping me if you need any help with Zola 🥰

Any #rust developers on #windows interested in a working on #network and #dns code? It’s OSS, this would be if you had a hobby interest or need this software at your work. We’ve had this long standing issue in Hickory Resolver, a big performance issue in the Windows implementation: github.com/hickory-dns/hickory…
Describe the bug On my machine, TokioAsyncResolver takes a very long time to resolve any DNS record - up to a minute! - regardless of domain, record type, or configured DNS servers in Windows. I do...
I came across a blog from a 2 years ago that compared different implementations of dot product. It had a couple interesting points. The cost of functional programming in #Swift was huge (31x on M1 and 198x on x86). I did an equivalent test in #Rust and the cost was 1x (on M2). That lets programmers use the high level abstractions without dreading the performance costs.
Recently I have ported the Monk Tower game written in #rust to native Android, I've collected some issues found on the way - so you don't have to reinvent the wheel :)
and #Python
