The Rust Foundation is hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to work on... well, shockingly enough, Rust infrastructure.

A fringe benefit is that you get to work closely with @jdno. He's great! (You also get to work less closely with me; YMMV on that one.)

Details: https://foundation.rust-lang.org/careers/ (make sure you click through to the actual vacancy, since it includes a bunch more detail on the specific position)

Rust Infrastructure Engineer

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.

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 ✏️

#GNOME #GTK #Cairo #Rust #Graphics

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?

#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 🥰

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.

Rust:
left.iter().zip(right.iter())
.map(|(&l, &r)| l * r )
.sum::<f64>()

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!

https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/8a0750b85f6d85fbf5c2e17a29fbc8112112c374

Don't worry, we're not about to "RIIR" - this is enabling new code next year to supercharge the backend architecture for your favourite mail client.

Last week I presented my paper at SecDev on the impact #Rust has vs. #C++ on the probability of a vulnerability being introduced by a first-time contributor to a project—and therefore, how easy it is for newbies to get contributions merged. The full paper is available here:

https://cypherpunks.ca/~iang/pubs/gradingcurve-secdev23.pdf

but the tl;dr is: Rust significantly lowered the number of vulnerabilities introduced, especially from new contributors, and increased the quantity of new contributors to projects.

periodic reminder that I maintain a big ol' list of #Rust command-line tools:

Did you know that a lot of things in #Rust directly implement the `Ord` trait?

For example `Option<T>` where T: Ord

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#impl-Ord-for-Option%3CT%3E

So you can do:

assert_eq(max(Some(0), Some(1)), Some(1))

assert_eq(max(Some(0), None), Some(0))

assert_eq(min(Some(0), None), None)

There are a lot of other things that implement `Ord`:

Oort seems like a pretty fun Rust programming game. The idea is that you get to program ships to engage in space combat. Similar to other games such as Space Traders.

The idea is pretty cool, but it uses a web editor to input the code and it is not accessible, so I can't use it. Pity.
