I’m really saddened, but I had to cancel my @devoxx.com talk tomorrow! Due to some circumstances out of my control, there wasn’t anything else I could do. Really sorry.

I’m such a nerd crates.io/crates/speed...

By the looks of what I see going on with AI & llms lately, it looks like many people haven’t seen Ratatouille (or not in a long time) in our industry…

We lowered the ticket prices for RustWeek! Individual tickets are now 199 instead of 249 euro. ✨ Additionally, we added a checkbox for an extra 100 euro discount, bringing the ticket price to just 99 euros for those who can't afford the full price. 💛

We can destroy everything over nothing; but eventually someone may come along, remember what happened, and make something beautiful out of the ruins. youtu.be/Fpu5a0Bl8eY?... Sucks the general seems to just have noticed the balloons 🎈…

So you’ll be in Montreal for @rustconf.com in September? I’m excited. Looking forward to seeing you there..,

I see a @palvaro.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjVf...

Made a new blurg post about AI + OSS security. I was going to just complain on here, but I figured a short blog post would be better for my complaining 😂 tenderlovemaking.com/2026/05/06/r...

Awesomeness. microsoft.github.io/bocpy/

Thoughts and prayers.

It’s nice if the compiler can enforce things… youtube.com/shorts/KZBX0...

Let’s do this again…

⚠️ An active phishing attack is targeting crate owners by asking them to "confirm that your email address is still active". These messages are not from crates.io, and should be ignored. (We will never ask you to confirm that your e-mail address is still active.) ⚠️

Please take my neurodiversity survey to help with a keynote. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... The talk will debut at NDC Toronto, ndctoronto.com/agenda/brain... Please share the link with others for maximum reach!

That being said, I also don’t know of any asynchronous model that doesn’t have those (no pun intended) traits. 🤔 Arguably, life is asynchronous, so why can’t we make it both easy and simple in programming languages? Am I missing something?

On se voit à Paris en avril? CEL? Encore un autre langage d'expression?! m.devoxx.com/events/devox...

My #fosdem talk on CEL in #rust is up fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Made it. #fosdem

In Brussels for #fosdem at the end of the month? Say hi! I’ll be in the #rust dev room on Sunday talking about cel-rust fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

In today’s episode we’ll give a shot at implementing `Opaque` values in the cel-rust interpreter. Which would then also let us add support for `Optional`… let’s see how far we can get. But fairly confident we’ll cover the former in today’s stream. twitch.tv/wcgwdev

I hope to see some of you tomorrow for this very first session. You might need to be indulgent… looking forward to chatting tho!

Alright… let me try something new. Well, new to me that is! twitch.tv/wcgwdev

My favourite Quarkus 3.20+ feature: quarkus ext add quarkus-opentelemetry otel-tui start your app and now your terminal has traces, metrics and logs :)

Yeah. It got old… to you all. Not to me. I still enjoy this graphic design… probably just a #rust dad joke by now…. I don’t care ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks @lambdaconf.bsky.social for having me. This was an awesome experience that I know wished I had had sooner.

On my way to the last @lambdaconf.bsky.social ever 😢 Looking forward to it tho!

Can't attend RustWeek? We've got you covered with a livestream! rustweek.org/live/tuesday/ #RustWeek #rustlang #livestream

Oh that is good news of hobbyists ! @jetbrains.com CLion is now free for Non-Commercial Use! blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2025/0... I still wish to have some form of C/CPP out in @intellijidea.com, but that’s a different beast.

1BRC – Nerd Sniping the Java Community Nice summary from last years 1BRC challenge by Gunnar Morling. It's so great to see the applied tricks to go from high level readable Java to low level performance Java.

hello, world! The Rust Foundation is excited to join you on this new (to us!) platform. We plan to exclusively share social media content here, Mastodon, & LinkedIn for the foreseeable future. You can also follow @rustconf.com — they'll have lots of important news to share about #rustconf soon 🦀

… and it’s running here locally

Its been awesome to see the work Andrea and co. been doing with WASM using Chicory. Latest is enabling sqllite to run in raw jvm bytecode and native-image. quarkus.io/blog/sqlite4... Also works with jdbc@maxandersen: gist.github.com/maxandersen/...

"They can’t hear you on mute." I was on mute publicly for the first twenty years of my career. I can't get that time back. All I can do is share as much as I can going forward. I hope once in a while writing that I share helps someone, somewhere, with something. 🙏 donraab.medium.com/communicatio...

I’ll be in Estes Park, CO for LambdaConf this coming May. Looking forward to be attending this conference for the first time! www.lambdaconf.us So of you wanna talk Rust & Wasm or generally geek out, I’ll be waiting for you there!

I think imma try this here now. Let’s see how that goes…

Maybe I should post a thing here one day…?🤔
