In my session, I will present the https://hotpath.rs crate and explain how it compares to other profiling tools available. I will also showcase AI-powered Rust debugging session using hotpath MCP interface. Talk will be practical, with live-coding examples, and describing nontrivial Rust performance optimizations.
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.
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.
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 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.
