The single coolest feature of Postgres is their Rust extension support.

Not an expert, but it sounds like it this stuff would be super hard to do in any other DB.

Any C++ developers who looked into Rust?
I'd love to get your thoughts on this article:
https://corrode.dev/blog/cpp-rust-interop/
If you have relevant experience or know someone who does, I'd be grateful if you could share your thoughts or forward this request.
Specifically looking for developers who have successfully integrated Rust into C++ projects and those who attempted to use Rust but decided against it. Thanks!

It's a wrap!
The season 2 finale of 'Rust in Production' is live.
This episode is packed with my personal highlights from the season
and an outlook into Rust's future. It took a bit of a darker turn this time.
It's short, too! So it's ideal if you want to stay up-to-date with Rust on your commute.

@npub1rnq…7anc good point. I hadn't considered that. In this case, is it fine to use the "other" option and use "app development"? I'm not sure if I can change the running survey. 😅

2024-07-26 19:59:50

If you listen to the 'Rust in Production' podcast and have a few minutes to spare, I'd love if you could fill out this anonymous survey.
The goal is to learn more about our audience and improve the content in preparation for season 3.
https://corrode.dev/survey
Also, we'd appreciate if you could share it with others to get a better picture. ❤️🦀
The statistics will be shared in the season finale in two weeks.

Here's a lesser known fact:
There's a much smaller number of companies talking about rust in prod than the number of companies actually using it.
I'd guess only 1/3rd or less come forward with it, ATM. In reality, Rust usage runs deep.

How is the Rust hiring market doing?
It could be better.
I noticed that it's tough for juniors/mid-level devs right now.
If your org is in the market for some Rust devs, send this post around to better understand the Rust job market and what to focus on.

If you're a junior Rust dev looking for a job, keep pushing. The tides will turn.

Thunderbird is one of the biggest open-source projects in the world and it is integrating Rust into its core.
In the new episode of 'Rust in Production' I sit down with Brendan Abolivier, a developer at MZLA (a subsidiary of Mozilla) to talk about the
challenges of working on a legacy codebase, the new Rust-based Exchange protocol support, and the future of Thunderbird. ⚡️

At the beginning of my Rust journey, I thought lifetimes would be the key to unlocking Rust's full potential.
Nowadays, I rarely think about lifetimes at all.
I tried to summarize my thoughts about lifetimes in this blog post: "Don't worry about lifetimes".

In the latest 'Rust in Production' episode, I talk to Carter Schultz from AMP about recycling billions of items per year with Rust. 🤯 ♻️
Imagine building a system that handles billions of recyclable items annually, outperforming humans in identifying recyclables.
The team chose Rust for the core of this system—and it worked "shockingly well."

@npub129g…4kwg @npub130m…yjxe have you tried zed as well? I quite like it. Two biggest enhancements I wish for are a plugin system and better vi support. Apart from that it's great and laser fast.

2023-09-16 18:24:50

- reply

@npub129g…4kwg yeah, that's what I mean. Without looking into the cargo.toml, there is no way of figuring out whether it uses a single threaded or multithreaded runtime unless the annotation is more explicit than the default, which not what many people use.

2023-09-16 18:13:58

- reply

@npub129g…4kwg oh, what I meant was that the framework would be sync like `iron` or the old versions of `rocket` and all endpoints would be sync. If you need async, you'd have to start a runtime, handle all futures, and return the results. No magic, no hidden runtime, very explicit. We should make running a few futures concurrently as easy as possible.

@npub1hg2…k372 on that note, I don't care about project releases at all. It's just noise to me. Release cycles and methods differ so much that I stopped caring. If I want to know what a project is up to, I check the repo and read the changelog or the git history. Wonder if I'm the only one.
