New toys! ⚡️

Very useful discussions on safe interface design in Rust. Chapter 5 of the book Rust Atomics and Locks is a great read that progresses from an unsafe design to a fully typed and safe one using borrowing to avoid allocation ..

I posted a blog regarding the vulnerabilities in the runtime of programming languages, including the recent Rust's critical vulnerability.

David wrote a really good article on the structure of the Rust project:

Some thoughts on the shape of the Rust project after last week’s leadership summit and #RustNationUK .

Please take my aging survey: gregcons.com/KateBlog/Pleas… and tell others about it too. I want to hear from a variety of ages and genders. You don't have to be a programmer, but I am focusing on programmers.

What if Rust only had panic='abort'? (Instead of panic='unwind', today's default.) It could simplify some parts of the language and prevent subtle bugs.

Do you absolutely need catch_unwind? If yes, please leave a reply!

(Panic hook and backtrace etc. will still work of course!)

⚡️💡Two years ago, I wanted to explain some folks digital protocols like I²C. I wanted to skip the boring stuff; make it a hands-on experience. So I made these little boards that they could use as I/O pins and invent their own protocols to talk to each other across the table. 1/3

Looks like they are a big fan of Rust. 😊
