Solving Advent of Code in Rust, With Just Enough AI | The RustRover Blog A year ago, I wrote a blog post about solving Advent of Code puzzles using Rust as the implementation language. I believe it’s still relevant if you plan to use Rust this year. In one section, I advis

In my new blog post, I talk about the right way to use AI when solving Advent of Code puzzles in Rust – and I also invite readers to join our leaderboards for a chance to win prizes!

I think I’m one of the most careful readers of the State of Rust Survey. So please, please, please submit your answers if you’re into Rust!

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

See you there! 💛

It's easy to see that it's going to be a great talk from the very first second: @maritvandijk.bsky.social and @piotrprz.bsky.social at #vdthess25 #voxxeddaysthessaloniki

Vitaly Bragilevsky on stage at Voxxed Days Thessaloniki. The slide behind him shows the talk title: "Luckily, you don't have to rewrite everything in Rust. But what if a touch of Rust is all you need?"

Vitaly Reads: #4, October 2025 Technical Book Reviews: Systems Programming with Zig, Garrison Hinson-Hasty, Manning Publications (available in early access)

Good book alert! Systems Programming with Zig by Garrison Hinson-Hasty from Manning Publications: vitaly-reads.beehiiv.com/p/vitaly-rea...

the thing is, rust can have really fast compile times, but the pervasive use of macros and build scripts obscures that fact. impure proc macros and build scripts are the free parking of the rust ecosystem: benefiting the few at the cost of many

YouTube video by Kotlin by JetBrains Your Voice Belongs Here: Creating Compelling KotlinConf Proposals

I'm super proud of this webinar for underrepresented communities to CFP for KotlinConf. It has been a goal of mine to have this type of encouraging event since I started at JetBrains, and now you can watch the video 🥰

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund!

Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that.

In August, I was interviewed by JetBrains about programming and Rust, ranging from the borrow checker, to agentic coding, to hiring. And it's now on YouTube! It's also general enough that it should be interesting even to those not already knee deep in Rust 😅

At least we can put spaces around it to stand out.

I’ll never forgive AI for stigmatizing my beloved em-dash

I’m looking for an intern to work on Rust/RustRover content creation. If you are a university student in any EU country, the UK, Serbia, or Armenia, and you are passionate about Rust and sharing your knowledge, I’d love to hear from you. Please repost to help spread the word. Links below.

Casey Muratori pretty much sums up how I feel about LLMs for coding:

"The AI will always be useless for me. I physically can't get what I want from programming when AI is involved, because what it is doing is robbing me of the experience that I wanted to have and the knowledge that I wanted to get"
