Got the @baochip.com Dabao evaluation board few days back (in India); trying to spread the word about the amazing Baochip in the local h/w and FOSS communities!

Rust 1.98.0 has been released! 🌈 🦀 This release includes algebraic floating point methods, NumBuffer for integer formatting, substr_range/subslice_range, strip_circumfix, Atomic<T>::from_mut, and more. ✨ Check out the blog post for all the details: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/08/20/R...

Someone ("Peterman Pod") asks Xavier Leroy for his top book recommendations for software engineer, and this clip names two. Second is "very irritating, very opinionated, mystical sometimes"…How to Design Programs. (-: www.facebook.com/reel/2258055...

Godbolt's Compiler Explorer now supports build systems (like cargo). This is so cool! I use Compiler Explorer quite a bit when playing with AArch32 stuff in Rust, to check I'm getting the kind of instructions I expected but I was limited to single files. Having cargo support is game changing.

🦀 Silicon Sundays Meetup #2: Embedded Rust Meetup (Online) Our speaker for this session is Arshad Mahmood He will be presenting "Running Neural Networks on a Jetson with Nothing but Rust" Schedule: Sunday (16/08/2026) 7:00pm CEST (10:30 PM IST) discord.com/invite/pvYY6... #rustlang #embedded

[back in the day] Low level programmers: "It's all about optimizing every byte and every cycle, use as little RAM as you can" Other devs: "Nonsense. We have plenty of RAM" [today] Low level programmers: "Well well well"

In case you missed it, today is Bevy's 6th Birthday too! bevy.org/news/bevys-s... I'm really proud of what we've accomplished, and I'm hopeful that the policy changes that have consumed much of my past weeks lay the foundation for a bright, kind future for many years to come <3

Testing the code of a newly written HAL is an essential but tedious, not to mention recurring, part of our work; so Vivian and Tamme developed a PoC for a universal test suite! Read more here: tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/240/... @0x76.dev #rustlang #embedded #softwaretesting

There's now a Micropython experimental port for the Dabao, and they are looking for testers! Check it out: github.com/orgs/micropy...

We've added a new Embedded Rust workshop to the schedule! 🦀 Join Björn and @domenicquirl.bsky.social for a hands-on session with the Embassy framework, wiring your own hardware prototypes on a breadboard. No embedded or async experience needed! ✨ 👉 eurorust.eu/workshops/ha... #EuroRust26 #RustLang

I am delighted to announce that after 5 years of work, 15 early releases, 50,000 words written, and 100,000 more deleted, *Logic for Programmers* is now complete and available in print! Blog post announcement: www.hillelwayne.com/post/lfp/ Website: logicforprogrammers.com

one odd thing about LLMs with programming is like... okay so obviously we all construct English and other human languages and sentences, and it learns from them when it talks but seeing code patterns that it learned that i specifically had a hand in creating is like, wild

i've been building a @rust-lang.org asyncIO executor for... the Nintendo 3DS! i've now written two blog posts talking about rust async, and my 3DS quest: blog.cat-girl.gay/3ds-async-pa...

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

More and more people I deeply respect and have learned a lot from over the years feel like they are speaking into a void, to the point where they are losing motivation to continue making content, which got me to write my first post on my site in over a year... www.kevinpowell.co/article/tell...

Learning about @oxide.computer's Hubris RTOS has been an incredible exercise in how different systems can be. In some sense, it has essentially made the polar opposite choice to everything I've done with embassy, async, and ergot over the past 3-5 years. Neither are *wrong*, they're just different.

I'll be at RustWeek too! I'd love to talk with you all about my OSS project like device-driver or my async optimization plans, but also any general embedded Rust topic :) So if you see me around, feel free to walk up!

@viiri-audio.bsky.social just dropped Aava, a groundbreaking convolution plugin that allows real-time modulation of all IR parameters, even at audio rates Website: viiri-audio.com #MadeWithSlint #rustlang #daw #VST #Slint

This Bun Rust rewrite has successfully trolled me

I love to help people learn #RustLang and get better at Rust programming! I have well over a decade of experience with Rust (including extensive work on Rust from before 1.0, core team membership, and other leadership work), and have helped numerous people learn it and teams successfully adopt it.

This paper finds that Rust on an microcontroller costs you about 10% extra flash space, actually saves you a bunch of RAM, and takes no extra time to deliver (as compared to C). Seems about right - especially as the C version needed a heap and the Rust version did not. arxiv.org/pdf/2604.25679

Some thoughts on AI (I'm resisting writing a blog post because I have nothing of great value tbh, but it is a hard force to resist): I understand a bit better people who say it's fun to use. It kind of is if you have something you want to build and if there is a lot of boring code to get there.

It’s been awhile since the last video, so here’s a deep-dive into the ESP32 bootloaders, where we port Espressif’s second-stage bootloader to Rust: youtu.be/l75TfMOPG1g

To make it easier esp. for junior folks (students, postdocs, jr faculty) to talk to me, I'm trying a new thing: open office hours at conferences! Come find me at PLDI 2026, using the public calendar linked to the page below. Please feel free to reshare! cs.brown.edu/people/sk/Co...

Oxidize Conference line-up is now out: oxidizeconf.com Four really interesting Embedded Rust workshops there on day one. And I'm not deliverying any of them for once!

It's finally time to announce the opening talk of the RustWeek 2026 main track! 2026.rustweek.org/talks/taylor/ Don't forget to buy your tickets, before they run out!

hello everyone! we're hard at work on an imminent launch. we have scalable monorepo support, jj-first concepts (but deep git compatibility!) and stacked diffs. we're very flattered by the attention yesterday and today!

The March edition of the scientific computing in Rust newsletter is out. Enjoy! scientificcomputing.rs/monthly/2026...

Is Oxide hardware made by Super Micro (or any other OEM/ODM)? FAQ Friday #40

🦀 weekend read: What makes a good hardware API in embedded Rust? Our embedded expert Jonathan Pallant shares some takes from working close to the metal – including where API design can accidentally make things harder. It's a must-read for embedded developers: ferrous-systems.com/blog/hardwar...

It's super exciting to see more games built with Bevy start to mature and bloom. I love the toon shaded style!

Fun stat: There are now 30 drivers published on crates.io using device-driver! crates.io/crates/devic... There are a bunch more, but they've never been published and are locked in proprietary codebases :P

I wrote some thoughts about Rust and how you can use it to talk to your hardware. TL;DR: Read your own docs, like your users have to. Seriously. Go read them. ferrous-systems.com/blog/hardwar...

Do I have any followers familiar with Embassy + smoltcp + STM32, and interested in a paid consulting gig? I've got a company seeing dropped / missing packets, and it could be an interesting project + fun investigative writeup.

Just spent an hour today in our agentic AI coding class showing all the way Claude Code produces *subtly* bad programs for a pretty trivial application. Wrong in some ways, but just bad in other ways. Reading its output is always a sobering experience.

Rust 1.94.0 has been released! 🌈 🦀✨ A few highlights are array_windows() and element_offset() on slices, Peekable::next_if_map(), LazyCell::get and friends, and the new `include` key in config.toml to include other toml files! Check out the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/05/R...

In January, @anishathalye.bsky.social, @josejg.bsky.social, and I returned to @csail.mit.edu to teach Missing Semester, a class on topics we miss from most CS programs—tools and techniques that everyone should know, like Bash, Git, CI, and AI tools. Today, we’re releasing the course for free online!

I’ve ordered five because oof, that shipping. Will share with friends locally. Excited to try it out!

github is dedicated to promoting codeberg by no longer being the higher-uptime option. i respect that

Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

How about Rust for real-time applications? @diondokter.nl gets you started: buff.ly/g8qruby #rustlang #embedded

Also asking, because it's pretty common to want to track things like code size over time, and see the impact of PRs over time on things like static RAM/flash usage for embedded projects.

anybody doing Advent of FPGA in Amaranth? blog.janestreet.com/advent-of-fp... it seems fun, and, moreover, if you have feedback as a learner I will be more than happy to use it to improve the language
