The Rust Foundation is an independent non-profit organization to steward the Rust programming language and ecosystem, with a unique focus on supporting the set of maintainers that govern and develop the project.
New blog post: on that time when I decided that if being able to panic one Rust program is good, then a feature that lets you panic _other_ programs would be better, right?
No, really, it's awesome. Here's Hubris's oddest syscall.
today I've heard for the first time about the #RigelA open-source screen reader project for #Windows written in #RustLang. Unfortunately only Readme has an English version, all other documents and code comments are in chinese, but the project seems very promising. Use Google Translate or another translator if you, like me, don't speak Chinese. gitcode.net/mzdk100/rigela
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…
> add LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI (and LLVM KCFI and cross-language LLVM KCFI) to the Rust compiler as part of our work in the Rust Exploit Mitigations Project Group. This is the first cross-language, fine-grained, forward-edge control flow protection implementation for mixed-language binaries that we know of.
We’re pleased to share that we’ve worked with the Rust community to add LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI (and LLVM KCFI and cross-language LLVM KCFI) to the Rust compiler as part of our work in the Rust Exploit Mitigations Project Group.
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).
#rustlang is coming into @thunderbird now too! I loved Thunderbird back in the day but--as acknowledged in this talk--it has fallen behind its competitors over time. Excited to see it gaining ground again!
What it does This lint would warn against using try_into from the TryInto or TryFrom trait when there is an available Into or From implementation. Advantage Remove the need for handling an error ca...
None of the major Rust web frameworks have a great error reporting story. We try to implement robust error logging with both axum and Actix Web and then compare the results with Pavex, an upcoming Rust web framework.
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 🥰
We have just issued the first #release of #sshd-openpgp-auth and #ssh-openpgp-auth.
Using this server and client-side tooling it is possible to manage the #authentication of #SSH host keys with the help of an #OpenPGP certificate as trust anchor.
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 :)
Whether you've just begun using #rustlang, are an experienced Rust user, stopped using Rust, or might use Rust in the future, we'd like to hear from you!
Available in seven languages and open until January 15th:
A while back I posted to announce we were enabling the use of #rust as a development language within @thunderbird
Pleased to say that we've now landed support, and as of today it's possible to write new libraries and xpcom components using #rustlang, as part of the libxul build!
