Watch Philip's talk at #FOSDEM, where he covers the API and prototypes for 'connectbyname', a library function that takes as input a DNS name and returns a TLS connection, as well as a new EDNS(0) option called Proxy Control option that allows stub resolvers to send requirements to a local proxy.

We're developing an #API in #rustlang that can internally use asynchronous #DNS lookups, implement Happy Eyeballs, support #DANE, SVCB/HTTPS, encrypted client hello, etc.

✨ GStreamer Rust bindings 0.20 and Rust plugins 0.10 release is out

This release features the addition of a few convenience APIs, the addition of bindings for some minor APIs and a lot of internal changes to improve performance and code generation.

gstreamer.freedesktop.org/news…

#GStreamer #Rust #RustLang


As part of the optimizations, there are a lot fewer temporary allocations now, e.g. for NUL-terminated strings.

Also, in addition to better performance, the code generation improvements also reduce the binary size considerably.

Some GStreamer plugins saw reductions of 15-20% 🥳

@TauriApps is awesome!

I just made a standalone app for emoji-mart using tauri.

It is very easy to use as a developer, starts fast, binaries are small (2mb for this project) and packaging just works out of the box.

For this project I did not even had to write a single line of rust, so you don't need to be comfortable with #rustlang to be able use it.

Levitation needs some unsafe code, but not around the cat, cats don't take fall damage.

Not all cats have the gift of levitation.
Those that do, however, do like to flaunt it.


#Rustlang 1.67 added extra optimizations of struct layouts. This might break code that relied on the "don't rely on this" layout of Rust structs without `#[repr(C)]`.

If you want to ensure your code doesn't rely on undocumented struct layout, there's an nightly flag for that: github.com/rust-lang/rust/issu…

The Rust base64 crate got a new release the other day, which removed (or rather deprecated for now) the simple encoding/decoding API and requires quite a bit boilerplate for such a simple task.

The maintainer does not see the point in providing a simpler API for the common cases because if the API is too difficult to use then Rust is just the wrong language for you 🙄

Too bad the crate has such a prominent name on crates.io and is used so widely. I hope that doesn't turn away too many beginners because something as simple as base64 handling is so complicated.

The data-encoding crate looks like a good alternative for the same tasks. It provides the same amount of flexibility while still providing a simple API for the common tasks.

Thanks to my students and former students at @TelecomParis for this perfect gift: a #rustlang themed temperature sensitive cup.


Now that we made it all through the holidays, we're happy to do some releases again!

First up is our #RPKI relying party software Routinator. 🚀 Version 0.12.1 fixes a small number of bugs. Most importantly, the #TLS-enabled servers for both HTTP and RTR now also accept private keys formatted as PKCS#1 RSA keys rather than only accepting PKCS#8 keys. #RoutingSecurity #rustlang

With their track of incubating #RustLang I'm curious how this pans out.

The experimental Rust PR to add a more expressive "interop" ABI on top of the C ABI is IMHO the most exciting new effort that happened in Rust in the last few years.

Thanks to @josh and others for starting this very important work 🥳​

github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull…

Also @Mara's reply seems to indicate that some serious thought is now also put into other related areas, especially for handling Rust dynamic libraries.

github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull…

Very exciting stuff for making Rust a better choice in various areas where exactly these topics were slowing down or hindering adoption.

🦀​ Rust 🦀​ people, is there a way to use conditional compilation in the match parts of a declarative macro? Other than duplicating the whole macro definition.

Basically something like

macro_rules! foo(<br>    ($x:expr) => { {<br>        println!("{}", $x);<br>    }};<br>    #[cfg(target_os = "linux")]<br>    ($x:expr, $y:expr) => { {<br>        println!("{} {}", $x, $y);<br>    }};<br>);<br>

This currently fails compiling: play.rust-lang.org/?version=st…

My first commit (written with antoyo) was merged in GCC! \o/

It allows us to continue improving the GCC backend for the Rust compiler (github.com/rust-lang/rustc_cod…) without needing a custom libgccjit version. :)

🥳 A new version of csv-diff has just been released! 🚀

docs.rs/csv-diff/latest/csv_di…

csv-diff is the fastest CSV-diffing library in the world - written in #Rust

It can compare two 1,000,000 rows x 9 columns CSVs in < 600ms!

Note that this is still a beta release and the library itself is still very young.

One of the ways I disagree with many of my esteemed fellow Rust people is that I think #async #RustLang is great. Switching #nextest over to #asynchronous Rust has yielded incredible dividends, including but not limited to what I described in sunshowers.io/posts/nextest-an….

The ability to write cross-platform heterogenous selects provides an extraordinary amount of power.

BTW, now that I'm at @oxidecomputer, I've been trying out nextest on #illumos and it works with zero (0) code changes!

Our @zbus Windows CI jobs fails 60-80% of the time (almost guaranteed on the first run) with an "Unable to open shared memory" error. Would anyone with some Windows dev xp happen to know or can take a look what happens?

I've noticed that typically it's the doc tests that fail.

Little #RustLang trivia for the crate `anyhow`:

if `FooError` and `BarError` are both error types, then you can do:

let wrapped = anyhow::anyhow!(FooError).context(BarError);

and `wrapped` will `downcast_ref` to both `FooError` and `BarError`.

Useful to inspect the context independently of the error! Just a bit unintuitive in my opinion.
