🐘✨ I'm speaking at #EuroRust!
"How to Fit an Elephant in a Rusty Refrigerator"

Taming a 7,000-type legacy API with Rust

Come for the memes, stay for the macros!
🔗 eurorust.eu/talks/how-to...

#RustLang #APIDesign #Programming #EuroRust

7,000 types. Inheritance everywhere. An enterprise API nicknamed “the API from hell.” At #EuroRust25, @kirilk.bsky.social will show how Rust’s type system, traits, codegen, and some ruthless pragmatism helped tame the beast.

🧵 1/3

🐘✨ My "Elephant in a Rusty Fridge" talk is LIVE at #EuroRust25!

I’ll show how to:
• Tame 7k+ legacy types with traits/enums 🦀
• Slash 20min→2min compile times 🚀
• Transform API nightmares into type-safe joy 💡
