Join us at #HISC2026 on Oct. 13! Alex Senier will present a talk on building a life-saving medical device in Rust—from requirements traceability through automated hardware-in-the-loop testing. Read more: 🔗 www.his-conference.co.uk/session/from... #RustLang #FerrousSystems #Ferrocene
We're excited to be contributing two sessions on Rust at Oxidize 2026: 🛠️ Workshop: Safety-Critical Rust Development with Ferrocene, led by Alexander Senier and Manuel Hatzl 🎙️ Panel: Executing High-Assurance Projects in Rust: Practical Insights, hosted by Florian Gilcher Hope to see you in Berlin!
Writing software in #RustLang doesn't make it safety-critical. Memory safety isn't the hardest problem - mismatched assumptions and undocumented contracts are. At #Oxidize2026: a workshop on building a safety case, talks on Unsafe Rust and spacecraft failures, and a panel on regulated environments.
🦀 Jonathan Pallant of Ferrous Systems shares the story behind building a GUI application in Rust on QNX, and how Rust's lifetime annotations helped prevent use-after-free bugs. 🔗 qnx.software/en/blog/2026... #RustLang #QNX #FerrousSystems #Ferrocene
🕵️ Follow the clues through a week-long debugging investigation that began with a particularly thorny problem. ferrous-systems.com/blog/query-c... #RustLang #Compiler #Debugging #Ferrocene #FerrousSystems
🦀 Rust won't save you. But it can help you build better systems. ⚙️ Episode 871 of FLOSS Weekly — an honest look at what successful Rust adoption actually takes, and why a rewrite isn't always the answer. 🎧 hackaday.com/2026/06/17/f... #RustLang #FLOSSWeekly #FerrousSystems

📣 Florian Gilcher joined 𝐵𝐸𝐴𝑀 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒, 𝐷𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 co-hosts and Elixir engineer Leandro Pereira to discuss when #Rust is the right fit in modern system architectures, especially where performance and safety are critical. 👉 Watch the episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5Pl... #Rustlang #BEAM #ElixirLang
#SafetyCritical development is more than the language - requirements, testing, coverage analysis. Alex Senier & Manuel Hatzl (@ferroussystems.bsky.social) work through the software safety lifecycle at #Oxidize2026, using #Ferrocene & open-source #RustLang tooling. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/saf...
