This technical talk examines the most prevalent pain points facing Rust web developers today and explores how the community is addressing them.
For infrastructure engineers, SREs, platform teams, and Rust developers who've felt the pain of configuration drift, failed deployments, and infrastructure code that simply doesn't scale safely.
This session we will delve into the sometimes murky world of procedural macros - showing some of the great tooling available for understanding the code generated, such as cargo expand, and the key building blocks we will need for writing our own.
We’ll take a deep dive into Rust channels — from synchronous channels to asynchronous channels — to explore how message passing enables reliable concurrent programming.
In my session, I will present the https://hotpath.rs crate and explain how it compares to other profiling tools available.
In 2024, I added the `Option::as_slice` and `Option::as_mut_slice` methods to libcore. This talk is about what motivated the addition, and looks into the no less than 4 different implementations that made up the methods. It also shows that even without a deep understanding of all compiler internals, it is possible to add changes both to the compiler and standard library.
