This thing is handling hundreds of thousands of inserts per second, and it’s even threaded. Given that I’ve been programming professionally for over a decade in Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript, Java, and Rust, I’ll pick Rust absolutely any time that I want something running that I won’t get called at 3 AM to fix. It probably took me 5 times as long to write it as if I did it in Go or Python, but I guarantee it’s saved me 10 times as much time I would have otherwise spent triaging, debugging, and running disaster recovery. “Configuring uWSGI for Production Deployment” (2019) by at Peter Sperl and Ben Green from Bloomberg uWSGI’s max-requests and max-worker-lifetime options are intended to reduce the chance of memory leaks affecting production workloads [@00:14:47] - Crate of the week: osmpbf A Rust library for reading the OpenStreetMap PBF file format (*.osm.pbf).

This Week in Rust - Issue 444

Highlights from This Week in Rust - Issue 444. This week features a juicy post-mortem, open source, open hardware, and lots of news from around the Rust ecosystem. Contributing to Rustacean Station Rustacean Station is a community project; get in touch with us if you’d like to suggest an idea for an episode or offer your services as a host or audio editor! Twitter: @rustaceanfm Discord: Rustacean Station Github: @rustacean-station Email: [email protected] Timestamps & referenced resources [@00:00] Welcome [@00:10] - Introduction [@00:50] - Agenda [@01:23] - Quote of the week This is the difference in approaches of the two languages. In C++ if the code is vulnerable, the blame is on the programmer. In Rust if the code is vulnerable, Rust considers it a failure of the language, and takes responsibility to stop even “bad” programmers from writing vulnerable code. I can’t stress enough how awesome it is that I can be a careless fool, and still write perfectly robust highly multi-threaded code that never crashes. [@03:09] Allen: Rust is both good and bad at marketing [@03:30] - Crate of the week [@04:15] - Tim and Sean discuss parsing in episode 2022-05-26 at 47:10 [@05:10] Official Notices [@05:22] - Announcing Rust 1.61.0 Custom exit codes from main [Note from Tim: I say “termination crate”, but should have said “Termination trait”.] More capabilities for const fn “Basic” handling of fn pointers Add trait bounds to a const fn dyn trait and impl Trait support Stdio handles can be locked directly Several stabilized APIs [@08:07] Highlights [@08:27] - Developer survey: JavaScript and Python reign, but Rust is rising [@09:09] - Sean: “Rust adoption has nearly quadrupled in the last two years, going from 600k developers in Q1 2022 to 2.2m in Q1 2022.” [@13:00] - Redust by Will Nelson [@13:50] Allen: I think the comments are actually more interesting. They are starting to point to something really—I don’t know whether it’s good or bad for the community—where, you know, people start rolling their own crates instead of, say, doing stuff upstream. It kind of goes back to what Tim was complaining about before [Easy Mode for Rust, discussed on This Week in Rust - Issue 441]—well, lightly pointing out to people out there—that okay, now which crate should I use? [@16:20] Tim: Open source is really complicated. You need to talk to people. That’s … challenging. [Laughs] [@16:40] Josh Triplett on Building with Rust, discussing the orphan rule [@16:50] Sean: Rust is not very good at sharing between crates. [@19:07] - Rust: A Critical Retrospective by bunnie Links The Hardware Hacker, bunnie’s autobiography [video] “Shenzhen: An Alternative to the American way of Innovation” [@28:56] A Programmer’s Brain, by Felienne Hermans, about working memory in programmers. [@19:58] - Hacking the Xbox book [@20:04] - [video] Linux.conf.au 2013 keynote discussing Chumby and creating a hardware startup [@20:20] - betrusted.io, a secure communications system that runs the Xous microkernel operating system [@21:07] - Tim: Security-critical applications have issues when they … rely on Rust. There’s one quote I want to pull out of the post, which is: “I’m not sure if there is even a good solution to this problem, but, if you are super-paranoid and your goal is to be able to build trustable firmware, be wary of Rust’s expansive software supply chain attack surface!” [@26:09] - Sean: bunnie I think that you are absolutely, totally, qualified. [@30:17] - Allen: I did see a macro that he put in there. … I forget extact. It was very crazy and I was like, “Come on, no one’s every going to write something crazy like this” and then I took a look at the RFC that Sean’s gonna do and in the comments there was a crazy one like that and I was like, “oh wow, this guy’s point’s valid”. [@30:49] - Hyrum’s Law, named after Hyrum Wright. With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.

They happen. They get caught. They get patched. You learn something new. It’s ok.”.

Rust in cURL

First time guest host, Allen Wyma talks with Daniel, the original author of cURL, about using Rust in cURL. cURL is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs. cURL, and its data transfer core, libcurl are both written in C, which is known to be not memory safe. While it is almost impossibe to rewrite it into another language, offering a third-party library written in Rust could take a further step forward.
