As much fun and as productive as #rustweek was, it feels good to be home. I'm going to be quietly focusing on a talk for using Bevy for scientific simulation in Rust, and poking at various UI problems. I really want 0.17 to be the version where we finally ship some decent widgets.

Love y'all <3

theotherphil is a new contributor who tackled a ton of little docs PRs while at #rustweek with us :) Here's one of them! Good little fix, and a great example of why keeping a well-groomed issue backlog is worthwhile. Who knows when the urge might strike?

Merging.

Ohoho: one of our first usage examples from #rustweek is ready to merge! This is a really nice demonstration of a core game dev concept: cooldowns. Great selection of example, and a good level of complexity.

Love it: merging.

I'm back and recovered from #rustweek, and it's time for your weekly #bevymergetrain. As part of our unconf there, the community did a ton of #opensource PR review for #bevy <3 Wildly appreciated!

This roundup will be extra long (50 PRs!): https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pulls?page=2&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3AS-Ready-For-Final-Review

Rose Peck's talk about floating point hashing at #RustWeek is definitely worth watching. It's linked in this supplementary blog post

There is some #RustLang content but overall it should be accessible to a broad audience of programmers. Very well presented!

Rust Week You Didn’t Wanna Miss

I’ve been reading “Coding Places” on and off during my journey to and back from #RustWeek '25, and I really enjoyed the way I was continuously reminded of the discussions in the book about the contrast between central and peripheral places in the software industry.

In that light, I was saddened knowing that there’s a hidden actual meaning behind our often-repeated joke “every year will be RustYear” 😶

That said, it’s been a real pleasure meeting y’all in person 🙏

Spending my evening building up the #rustweek all-hands gift.

#RustWeek was a fantastic conference all around. I enjoyed meeting so many people, and also seeing old friends. Kudos to the organizers.

I went to Quaker meeting today in Den Haag, and will be staying in Netherlands a few days just for vacation. It's possible I can meet up with people a reasonable train ride away. My plan is to visit a bunch of places by train, including Enkhuizen, where I was born and lived until age 3.

Starting my train journey home now.
I'm already proactively grumpy for Germany forcing passport controls on board.

#rustweek

Reading all these positive toots about #rustweek makes me feel like I missed a fantastic event 😢

Well then, see you next year (in person) 🤘😉

Thank you all so much for coming to #RustWeek. I had a fantastic week. Organizing it was so much fun. Seeing all the ideas come to life and watching hundreds of people having a good time was magical. ✨️ See you next time.

Ducks from #rustweek finally joined their new family ^_^

The morning after #rustweek
I don't think I talked to so many smart people in so few days ever. Energizing.

But also I need to recharge my social batteries first.

After attending #RustWeek and the All-Hands, I'm left with so much hope for the future. The project is *the people*, and the people I saw, talked to and worked with make me proud to call myself a rustacean.

Returning home after a six days at #RustWeek. The week began with the conference, which was super fun & engaging, but the best part for me were the 3 days of #Rust All-Hands. The event gathered Everyone™️ from RustProject to discuss current burning issues & vision for the future.
@rustnl

RustWeek has been so incredibly fun. I'm so glad I volunteered, and it was incredibly gratifying to hear how enjoyable others found the whole event. I really enjoyed all the talks I managed to sit in on, and I got to meet so many cool people! Can't wait to do it again next year.

#rustweek

#RustWeek

The main message I got from the conference:

Compared to C/C++/Go, Rust code takes more time to initially write. But in the much longer maintenance phase, Rust takes a _lot_ less effort. The maintenance effort reduction factors that were mentioned were 0.6, 0.5 and even 0.25 . That is the reduction in team sizes for maintenance.

That reduction is big, and more than enough for larger companies to afford the time to learn Rust, typically 6-12 weeks per developer.

Watching the Eurovision Song Contest is a surprisingly good way to wind down after a week of discussing #rust at #rustweek. 😄
