tfw you get asked "why Rust in Automotive" and you have the recorded talk ready to go

link to talk in thread
trying out opencode backed by claude opus 4.5

good chance to test run new things over the holidays :D

i'd been a webchat guy only up till now with LLMs, so it's a bit of a change, but --

overall enjoying the experience, with opencode opened inside of neovim's terminal. navigability is nice

ever curious why people that work in safety-critical systems want to use Rust?

here's the title slide for the talk i'll give at @rustnationuk.bsky.social about this
December 28, 2025 at 11:37 PM
wonder how many leads this is driving

god help us all, please do not hire mckinsey

please read the @pragmaticengineer.com or similar

a boiled egg, when warmed, exploded in my wife's face

she just turned to me and asked "did i get egg on my face?"

(she's fine and no egg on face)

like all good scrabble games with young kids, it came to an abrupt end when i pulled into the lead and the eldest nope'd out

ah, takes me back to when i used to be on the other side of this exchange
December 26, 2025 at 7:23 PM
played scrabble with the kids this morning

eldest is starting to understand how to lay out tiles to make >= 2 words at once, nice

middle is using her newly obtained sight word powers to make words like "and", nice

youngest is tapping us with her skye figure and telling us it gives us powers, nice

ho ho ho, merry coding guidelines improvements

bsky.app/profile/safe...
We've brought some requested improvements to the coding guideline example code blocks:
- copyable
- buildable, runnable
- when annotated, Miri can be run
- hide/unhide less key portions

hey there y'all -- don't miss out in lending your voice to what it'd take to bring more Rust programming language goodness to your safety-critical industry

survey closes tomorrow evening, right before midnight pacific time in the states

prob take you around ~10 minutes

Are you in a safety-critical industry? Using the Rust programming language (@rust-lang.org) or would like to? Make your voice heard when it comes to what you'd like to see for Rust Project Goals!

the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium is also looking to gather up tools which could be a good fit for safety-critical

check it out:
bsky.app/profile/safe...
Did you know that the Tooling Subcommittee has put together a process for submitting tools which are or potentially could be used for safety-critical systems development in Rust?

More details follow

me when my GitHub stats are skewed by preparing for the @sdv.eclipse.org hackathon

you and the C programming language win this time @rcs.bsky.social

hey you there -- yeah you: you been wanting some nice general purpose coding guidelines for Rust?

you wanna help build 'em?

oh it says "safety-critical"? yep that's the initial focus, but they should support anyone building in the Rust programming language

bsky.app/profile/safe...
We've improved the guidance on how to use the coding guideline that's been converted from Markdown to reStructuredText and -- we now test all code examples in the submitted guideline!

More details follow.

some folks are never beating the allegations of moving from one grift to the next

i'm cringing at how many posts i'm seeing on linkedin about "my journey from blockchain to ai"

heyyyo -- reminder that the survey of Rust programming language users in safety-critical ends next week Friday

take a gander at the quoted post and excrete 10 minutes of your day onto it pls

the Rust Project folks seem open to learning more of what those of us in safety-critical industries would need to expand Rust usage. this is great to see!

survey should take 10 minutes or so tops, take a look if you can make time

to whomever said people might be confused regarding Woven by Toyota choosing the Rust programming language for key areas --

you were right: Reddit's similar threads algorithm at minimum is confused

wife just hit me with: "oh... when you're on the computer you look so macho"

interested in safety-critical + Rust? check it out
Hey there 👋 are you aware of the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium? 🦀🦺

We were founded about a year and a half ago with the mission to make Rust a first-class choice when starting a safety-critical systems project (think trains, planes and automobiles -- and more).
December 7, 2025 at 5:00 PM
when i read or hear people discuss how Rust's ergonomics are not great for the problem they are trying to solve i think:
- okay, but that likely can be improved if you discussed with the Rust Project folks
- i'm still very happy to push Rust in safety-critical
December 7, 2025 at 4:46 PM
didja know that the Rust Project Content Team's put out five interviews so far? ranging from how the Infra Team works to Rust + GPUs to the hippy lore of unconfs

nice! @rcs.bsky.social is contributing actively enough to the Safety-Critical Rust Coding Guidelines that issues with contributor experience are being found and squashed
December 7, 2025 at 3:48 PM
psst, to let you in on a secret: the hope is to build these coding standards in a comprehensive way to scale up or down to your project, even outside of safety-critical spaces
