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.
The Rust ecosystem loves to claim tools are 🚀 blazingly fast 🚀, and the "Rewrite It In Rust" movement has given us alternatives to everything from CLI utilities to web servers. But are these replacements actually faster? Or is the RIIR movement more about memory safety theater than real performance gains?
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. Some Rust tools genuinely deliver on their promises—but others might be solving problems that don't exist. Whether you're a RIIR evangelist or a skeptic, you'll walk away with data-driven insights into when Rust replacements make sense and when the original is still the better choice. Expect honest assessments, performance comparisons, and maybe fewer rocket emojis.
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 technical talk examines the most prevalent pain points facing Rust web developers today and explores how the community is addressing them.
As Rust projects grow, managing private crates becomes a real headache. Teams struggle with inconsistent versioning, fragile dependencies, and cumbersome workflows that slow down development. In this talk, I’ll walk through how these challenges can be solved with Rust and CrabHub.
I'll initiate you in the art of 'CAN bus sniffing': Connecting to the central nervous system of a modern car, interpreting the data, and seeing what we can build as enthousiastic amateurs.
In my session, I will present the https://hotpath.rs crate and explain how it compares to other profiling tools available.
