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 dive deep into what makes concurrency coordination costly, and explore some pathways to mitigate that cost.
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.
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.
This talk explains how Rust debugging actually works: how compiler-generated debuginfo (DWARF/PDB) maps binaries back to source, and how LLDB/GDB interpret that data in practice.
