#rustweek conference done! That's all they wrote!

#rustweek with @alice_i_cecile - Breaking things can open up great opportunities, A++. Me (ben) has been doing web services dev for a while, and its always nice to see people in completely different areas of coding running into the same problems, we're not alone 😅

#rustweek with @ciura_victor - the brilliantly named duct tape chronicles. C++ isn't going anywhere [soon], and rust is becoming more popular, so finding a way to get a good interop is important to getting these languages to work together. A hard problem to solve, especially for moving targets.

#rustweek with Ralf Jung - minirust is an interpreter which can run a spec to help test (and encourage) the formal definition of rust. Removing the "mistakes" of languages gone past, and helping to define rust through testing the language specification directly through running real outputs to help remove undefined behaviour.

#rustweek Martin Larralde - writing bio libraries in rust instead of c. Going from MiB/s to GiB/s by moving language. Saving tax payers money by getting results in minutes instead of days, straight execution optimisation.

#rustweek and Waffle reinventing trait objects. A peak behind the hood of how rustc is representing trait objects in memory. Congrats on stabilising this in recent rustc version! Meow

#rustweek and @pietroalbini talking about how to make errors better by looking at how rust does it in the compiler. Bad errors are bugs, and error messages are first class citizens of your application. Test your errors, remove the unhelpful stuff, and make it pretty and parsable by humans quickly!

#rustweek and Rust in Production being recorded live! Talking about some language design, and other rust history things with Niko Matsakis.

#rustweek Michał “FractalFir” Kostrubiec - rust has a modular compiler which can enable the translation of rust (through mir) into c, but beware, basic operations dont always translate and they need some manual massaging to get similar outputs.
