Meta is rewriting its mobile messaging infrastructure in #RustLang, phasing out a legacy C codebase that engineers found hard to maintain and frustrating to work with.

More details on #InfoQ https://bit.ly/4kzBvpG

So I really took the time to perform packaging msedit for openSUSE:

I was drinking coffee and kind of full so you may hear my occasional "about to burp" moments.

Once you write Rust, you don't wannah touch some other languages and it makes you dread them more!
#rust #rustlang #programming

Is there a better nomenclature for this runtime errors vs. programmer errors that I'm using here?

The Weekly Challenge 329: Nice Counter #Perl #RustLang #PerlWeeklyChallenge #BlogFiredrakeOrg https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2025/07/The_Weekly_Challenge_329__Nice_Counter.html

RustLang question: If `From` is implemented between two types, is it possible to seamlessly convert between Vectors of those two types?

Compiler won't let me `impl from<Vec<...>>` for the two types since `Vec` isn't in my crate.

This whole thing is working around the fact that `NodeGroup` in an external crate doesn't have `Deserialize` on it, though it is generated code by `prost`...

New embedded Rust milestone!

I connected my electric guitar to ESP32 with an amplifier circuit and visualized the played notes with @ratatui_rs

I was inspired by @ho's post (https://nathan.ho.name/posts/dm-synthesis/) about using digital modulation schemes for sound synthesis

Here, I've turned the binary data from a block of text (lorem ipsum with strings of repeated characters thrown in) into a .WAV file in Rust. In Max/MSP, I'm incrementing through that to modulate the phase of a sine wave and simulate phase-shift keying (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_keying)

ICYMI: "Trusted Publishing" on crates.io is now officially shipped!

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/07/11/crates-io-development-update-2025-07/

tl;dr you can now publish via GitHub Actions without setting up a secret API token

Picture yourself...
...connecting with Rustaceans who get it.
...learning in every conversation.
...sharing what you've learned with others who care.
...feeling inspired to keep building amazing things with Rust.

Picture yourself at RustConf 2025.

Mini-rust in Rust 037: Complex expressions in mutation statements

We left a lot of gaps while we were building towards some working code. The first to tackle is allowing complex expressions on the right-hand side of mutation statements.
