This Week's Rust Challenge 🦀

Given a vector of integers, return the index i such that the sum of all elements to the left of i equals the sum of all elements to the right of i. If multiple such indices exist, return the middlemost one (closest to the center). If none exist, return -1.

GitHub - OpenDevicePartnership/patina: Patina Firmware Patina Firmware. Contribute to OpenDevicePartnership/patina development by creating an account on GitHub.

Patina is a Rust implementation of UEFI firmware.

The goal of this project is to replace core UEFI firmware components in Pure Rust as opposed to Rust wrappers around core implementation still written in C.

GitHub - typst/typst: A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn. A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn. - typst/typst

Also to be noted is that Typst has friendly errors, and when things go wrong, it tells you why, in plain English. Revolutionary, right?

Typst is open-source on GitHub at github.com/typst/typst.

- Built-in everything - Math, bibliographies, scripting, it’s all included out of the box. No endless \usepackage scavenger hunts.

- Simple markup, powerful logic - You can go from headings to recursive Fibonacci tables without leaving your .typ file.

Here’s why developers love Typst:

- Blazing-fast compilation - Incremental builds mean your document updates in real time. No more coffee breaks between edits.

LaTeX veterans know the drill, miss one curly brace, and suddenly your bibliography vanishes into the void.

Typst fixes that with a modern syntax, human-readable markup, and instant feedback, so you can focus on content, not debugging.

This Week's Project Spotlight 💡

Typst
If you’ve ever wrestled with LaTeX and thought, “There has to be an easier way”, Typst is that way.

The problem Typst is tackling is simple but painful: writing beautiful, structured documents shouldn’t feel like deciphering cryptic compiler errors.

Preventing Invalid Database Access At Compile Time Using the type system to block invalid database access.

10. Preventing Invalid Database Access At Compile Time demonstrates how to use Rust’s type system to prevent invalid database writes by distinguishing read-only and writable connections, catching misuse at compile time instead of runtime.

9. Worakarn Isaratham from Agoda Engineering wrote why Agoda’s Feature Store runs faster and safer now that they’ve bet big on Rust.

8. Aloso’s Effects in Rust (and Koka) compares Rust’s ownership and type system with Koka’s expressive effect system, and debates ongoing Rust efforts such as keyword generics to support async, const, and fallible behavior more seamlessly.

Fun With HyperLogLog and SIMD Introduction Perhaps the most fundamental property of a set is its cardinality - the number of distinct elements. Computing this measure for an arbitrary list of items seems awfully simple: you read…

Why we didn't rewrite our feed handler in Rust | Databento Blog We recently faced an interesting decision: what language should we use to rewrite our market data feed handler? Despite Rust's growing popularity in fintech and our own successful use of it in other…

2. Databento’s Rustaceans explained why their feed handler didn’t get the Rust rewrite treatment - yes, sometimes ‘rewrite it in Rust’ isn’t the answer.
