Rust ends memory corruption bugs - not logic errors or concurrency bugs past the type system. Fuzzing, static analysis, and real performance measurement still matter. At #Oxidize2026: talks on fuzzing async Rust, static analysis findings, microbenchmarking, and Safe Rust's limits. #RustLang
Oxidize Conference
@oxidizeconf.bsky.social
📍 Tagungswerk, Berlin 📅 Sept 14–16, 2026 🎟️ oxidizeconf.com Oxidize is the leading conference at the intersection of applied Rust and real-world decision-making, bringing together developers and technical leaders building Rust systems in production.
"Rewrite it in a different language" is one of the most final calls in engineering. Most C++ codebases are decades deep - Rust/C++ interop matters more than the rewrite debate. Oxidize 2026: a workshop on Rust+C++ with CXX, talks on native libraries and vendor drivers. #RustLang #Oxidize2026 #Cpp
#RustLang and #AI are a natural fit - a strong type system and uncompromising compiler give AI the guardrails it needs. Jonas Wolf (Vector) explores how that combination underpins a deterministic async runtime for safe, verifiable cyber-physical systems. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/oxi...
#Embedded means tradeoffs: tight memory, no OS, no room for mistakes. Rust's pitch isn't "start over" - it's entering existing systems one module at a time, no rewrite needed. #Oxidize2026: workshops on Rust in C codebases and a #RustLang embedded OS, talks on bare-metal UI & shipping a Rust RTOS.
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.
Automotive, defense, and space are defined by consequence - memory bugs and race conditions there mean cost and delay. #RustLang keeps control while cutting out that whole class of failures. At #Oxidize2026: Volvo Cars, Quantum Systems, and Infinite Orbits on what that looks like in practice.
Quantum Systems is the Keynote Sponsor for Oxidize 2026. The AI-powered autonomous systems company opens the conference with "Rust as the Foundation for Future Unmanned Systems," presented by Sebastian Rietzscher and Sebastian Haas. Oxidize 2026 | Berlin, Sept 14–16 #RustLang #Oxidize2026
⚡ Lightning Talks are back for #Oxidize2026! 5 slots, 5 minutes each - no slides, props encouraged. Share your latest #RustLang project, optimization stories, or a pattern you love. Sign-ups open September 1 at 10:00 CEST - exclusive to ticket holders. 🎟️ Grab yours by August 31: oxidizeconf.com
How do you build an autonomous #Defense system where failure is not an option? Sebastian Haas & Sebastian Rietzscher (Quantum Systems) walk through Mosaic - the #RustLang based Ground Control Station behind their mission-critical stack. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/key... #Oxidize2026 #EmbeddedRust
Safe Rust and Unsafe Rust aren't the whole story in safety-critical settings. Pete LeVasseur (Woven by Toyota) covers the gaps - brownfield projects, hardware interaction, and the case for #SafetyCritical Rust Coding Guidelines. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/rus... #RustLang #FunctionalSafety
Hiring or being hired in Rust? A panel with Till Adam (KDAB), Julius Gustavsson (Volvo Cars), Thomas Fleischmann (Accenture), Julia Sommer (Ferrous Systems) and Liran Aloni (JetBrains) on navigating the maturing Rust job market. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/pan... #Oxidize2026 #RustLang #RustJobs

What does "runs on anything" mean with no OS, no std, and an ESP32-S3? Vasileios Papageorgiou (Extenly) puts #Slint to the test with a bare-metal smartwatch prototype - covering where the #EmbeddedRust ecosystem helps and where the gaps are. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/no_... #Oxidize2026 #RustLang
Zero-knowledge proofs have a reputation for being impenetrable. Adam Smolarek (Rustarians) draws on three years of production halo2 circuits to show what ZK work actually looks like in #RustLang - and where Rust helps versus where it gets in the way. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/why... #Oxidize2026
You write a handful of lines of Rust, osdyne does the rest. Michael Steil (osdyne) runs a full-day workshop at #Oxidize2026 on this Rust-based embedded OS and SDK - hardware portability, connectivity libraries & signed OTA updates built in. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/emb... #RustLang #EmbeddedRust
Building on FUSE in Rust means a lot of boilerplate. Ruiji Yu (Nanjing University) presents libfuse-fs - trait-based abstractions, async I/O, and overlay support out of the box - with lessons from real integrations. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/lib... #Oxidize2026 #RustLang #FUSE #AsyncRust
A last-minute chance to test hardware in space - and no time for embedded Linux. Michaël Melchiore (@rohelfr.bsky.social) from Infinite Orbits shares how Rust's embedded ecosystem helped his team move fast without cutting corners on safety. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/rus... #RustLang #EmbeddedRust
How do Rust's perceived gaps play out in real #SafetyCritical projects? Florian Gilcher (@skade.bsky.social) from @ferroussystems.bsky.social and fellow industry experts discuss what actually matters for #RustLang adoption in regulated environments. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/pan... #Oxidize2026
Curious what Oxidize is all about? Catch up on talks from Oxidize 2024 and 2025 on our YouTube channel - from embedded Rust to real-world systems use cases. A great way to get a feel for what's coming at #Oxidize2026. 🔗 www.youtube.com/@OxidizeConf... #RustLang #EmbeddedRust
Oxidize Conference
The Oxidize Conference is the event for applied Rust. We don't just talk about how to use Rust, but we're looking at where Rust is being used. From embedded technology in IoT medical devices to critical safety applications to vehicular dashboards written in Ferrocene – our speakers and workshops are about taking Rust to new levels.

Getting #FFI to compile is easy. @marcelkoch.net tackles harder questions like prebuilt binaries across platforms, libraries built from source & reliable CI - comparing a custom binary download approach against Conan via Flutter Rust Bridge: oxidizeconf.com/sessions/bey... #Oxidize2026 #RustLang
You don't have to rewrite your C #firmware in Rust all at once. Christian Meusel's workshop at #Oxidize2026 is about doing it incrementally - starting from build integration and #FFI calls, through to third-party crates for QR generation. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/int... #RustLang #EmbeddedRust
#Fuzzing finds bugs reliably - but async Rust has largely stayed out of reach. At #Oxidize2026, Morgan Hill walks through what it takes to actually fuzz #AsyncRust: the approaches that don't work, and one that does - involving LibAFL and user mode QEMU. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/awa... #RustLang
Do you really need half a dozen daemons and endless YAML to run a few containers? Chiyang Tan (Nanjing University) built rk8s - a lightweight Kubernetes alternative in #RustLang. At #Oxidize2026, he'll walk through its architecture and design decisions. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/rk8...
How does Rust fit inside a next-gen EV battery? Julius Gustavsson (@jgust.xyz) from Volvo Cars walks through SmartCell - a software-defined battery architecture where Rust makes it robust, secure & production-ready. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/rus... #Oxidize2026 #RustLang #EmbeddedRust #Automotive
Rust’s compile-time guarantees are incomplete - the compiler catches most issues, but not all. At #Oxidize2026, Rolland Dudemaine (TrustInSoft) shares findings from analysing production #RustLang code: what bugs survive, and when extra tooling helps. #CodeQuality 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/wha...
Want to know who’s taller? Stand people side by side. At #Oxidize2026, Denis Bazhenov (JetBrains) applies the same idea to microbenchmarking: run implementations simultaneously so background noise affects both equally. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/jus... #RustLang #Benchmarking #Perf
Most C++ codebases aren’t being rewritten in #RustLang - but the two can work together. At #Oxidize2026, Nicolas Fella & Nicolas Qiu Guichard (@kdab-com.bsky.social) cover Rust/C++ #interop with CXX: cross-language calls, integrating Rust in CMake & #Cpp in Cargo. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/rus...
Specs drift. Handwritten code falls behind. What if JSON, INI, Mermaid, & Markdown were the source of truth - and Rust #macros handled the rest? Tao Liu shows a workflow turning human-readable docs into #RustLang code for a RISC-V assembler & linker. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/ris... #Oxidize2026
Memory safety is Rust’s headline feature—but spacecraft fail from ambiguity, undocumented contracts & bad state transitions. At #Oxidize2026, David de Rosier (Onyx) explores what safety-critical engineering learned here, where #RustLang helps, and where it can’t. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/sof...
Embassy is still rare in commercial products—making Gerhard de Clercq’s (Low Noise Factory AB) talk at #Oxidize2026 worth watching. He’ll cover shipping an #embedded product on #Embassy: hurdles, web server gotchas & hardware simulation shaping design & #firmware. 🔗 oxidizeconf.com/sessions/emb...
