I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund! Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that. bsky.app/profile/rust...

Fun fact: Just for RustWeek, the internet infrastructure in the venue gets a big temporary upgrade with extra wifi access points that get installed in the restaurant and the cinema rooms, because y'all bring more than 1 device on average and use a lot more bandwidth than the average cinema visitor.

A pie chart showing 1122 wifi clients, with roughtly a fifth Android, another fifth iOs, and smaller chunks for MacOS, Ubuntu, Windows, and other devices.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

The before version has 11 instructions and stores 56 bytes on the stack. The after version has 3 instructions and stores no data on the stack.
