Sad that RustWeek is over, and glad I got to spend the week with so many wonderful people. Next time you are delighted by how a Rust feature works, say thanks to all these folks who spent the week hashing out every possible edge case! Can't wait for next year's RustWeek! #rustweek #rustweek2026

systemd-boot renders the trans flag emoji as a bunch of question marks.. is this a sign that my bootloader is having a gender identity crisis?

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/

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...

github.com/rust-lang/ba... I optimized the size of every Rust binary (that uses std) by over 1kb :). It's not a lot but it's something! There were some easy size optimizations around placing function boundaries to reuse code, and in the end I went all in with some unsafe to remove bounds checks :3.

Optimize proc maps parsing code size by Noratrieb · Pull Request #729 · rust-lang/backtrace-rs

The current code size is really wastefully large. Originally, it was 1500 lines of assembly in Godbolt, now I reduced it to just under 800. The effect of .text size in hello world is from 297028 to...
