Is there a particular aspect you’re having trouble with or is the concept as a whole just not clicking for you?

Using AI tools (ostensibly) reduces the amount of code you write. I’m worried about the possibility of skill atrophy that might go with it. Thoughts?

I want to hear from all of the “Claude-poisoned” devs out there (thanks @codereport.bsky.social for the colorful description).

New embedded Rust milestone! 🦀🎉

Parallel Solver With Graph Coloring by Jondolf · Pull Request #771 · Jondolf/avian Objective A big step in #319. Replaces #706. Currently, Avian's constraint solver is entirely single-threaded and uses scalar operations. A naive par_iter approach is not possible with a Gauss-...

Today I merged one of my personal most anticipated improvements to Avian: a parallel solver with graph coloring!

📢 ADSP Episode 241 is out! 📢 In this episode, Bryce and I continue our conversation with Jared Hoberock! We talk about a parallel scan problem, parallel rotate and more! 🎉 adspthepodcast.com/2025/07/04/E...

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.

This was a fantastic take from @adamgordonbell.bsky.social on his latest CoRecursive podcast episode! Highly recommend. corecursive.com/coding-agents

Check out the latest release of This Week in Rust! My personal highlights:

Rust 1.88 with stabilized let chains

rustc_codegen_cranelift has implemented cleanup during stack unwinding

a podcast interview with Dioxus creator Jonathan Kelley

… and so much more!

if let Some(x) = option1 && let Some(y) = option2 && x > y { println!("{}", x + y); }

new let statement chaining is so intuitive that I'm kinda surprised we didn't have it before. #rustlang

Holy shit let-chains are finally stabilized in Rust 1.88! Let’s goooo

Excited to be talking about async cancellation at #rustconf! Cancellation in general is a really difficult problem, and async Rust has powerful ways to deal with it. But it's also surprisingly error prone, as we've found at @oxide.computer, and deserves a lot of careful thought

Oh yeah the type safety was actually the biggest draw for me. Same reason why I considered using Go’s templ framework

Ive used Htmx with askama templates before and found it to be pretty great as well.

Agreed. Works great inside the rsx or css but still requires a rebuild when rust code is changed

That’s fair. Have you tried something like Dioxus? It has some pretty sweet hot reloading. Currently building a number of projects with it.

Yeah at a certain point it became so ridiculous as to be funny, so I’m having Rust Evangelism Strike Force hats made.

Oof yeah you are preaching to the choir here. I have had quite a bit of success with Rust greenfields and rewrites, but essentially zero success in the interop space for exactly the same reasons.

Ok I’ll try it out!

If there is an extremely robust interop solution with C++, I think it will be way easier to push Rust adoption for extending existing projects.

The number of puns/dad jokes in the comments would be physically painful to read if I weren’t wearing New Balance shoes with my khakis right now.

How has your experience with cxx been so far? Will probably need to start using it for work and am wondering what people like/dislike about it.

Great article! Highly recommend for anyone thinking about doing a rust rewrite.

I use neorg, which isn’t exactly the same but tries to bring the feel of org mode into neovim

Very cool. Will definitely take a closer look at this

Hahaha I’ve gotten enough practice that I can avoid falling at this point. I normally pace to think anyway

Oh wait…. That’s genius! I have a walking treadmill under my desk but full hands free would allow for so many different kinds of simultaneous exercise!

Wow that’s super impressive. Yeah code manipulation was the part that really seemed lackluster to me when using talon by itself. Saying the vim commands out loud was really hard for it to parse for some reason
