We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's standard library from the GPU. This has never been done before.

Supporting Rust's standard library enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming feel normal.

The future of Rust isn’t hypothetical. It’s taking shape in real codebases, real teams, and real decisions right now.
We’re inviting #rustconf talks that reflect that reality.
