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.
In this talk, we’ll re-create the core ideas of Karpathy’s micrograd, but entirely in Rust.
This talk explores what it means to write scientific software that lives up to the standards we expect of science itself.
This talk puts popular Rust rewrites to the test. We'll examine how these tools stack up against their battle-tested predecessors, looking at real-world performance, compilation times, binary sizes, feature completeness, and ecosystem maturity.
During this talk we'll build a basic, working async runtime using nothing more than a standard library. The point? To see it's approachable for mere mortals.
