This technical talk examines the most prevalent pain points facing Rust web developers today and explores how the community is addressing them.
The Rust web ecosystem has made incredible progress, but let's talk about what we don't discuss enough: the rough edges. Every web developer working in Rust has battled macro-heavy frameworks that obscure what's actually happening, ORM integration headaches that turn simple queries into type gymnastics, and error handling that makes it hard to return clean, user-friendly error messages instead of exposing internal implementation details.
This technical talk examines the most prevalent pain points facing Rust web developers today and explores how the community is addressing them. We'll discuss common developer frustrations, emerging patterns and solutions, and honest assessments of what's improving versus what remains challenging. Whether you're shipping production Rust backends or evaluating the ecosystem, you'll walk away with a clearer picture of the real-world challenges and where the community is headed.
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.
This talk explores what it means to write scientific software that lives up to the standards we expect of science itself.
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.
In this talk, we'll dive deep into what makes concurrency coordination costly, and explore some pathways to mitigate that cost.
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.
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.
