Did you know that: The Coding Guidelines Subcommittee rotates their meeting to make it easier for regions to join?

- Americas + Europe-friendly
- Europe + Asia-Pacific-friendly
- Asia-Pacific + Americas-friendly

If you're located in Asia-Pacific we'd love to have you!

Tooling Subcommittee members have done a great job in standing up a process.

Check it out if you're a tooling vendor, run an open source project, or know of some tool which could be useful in safety-critical systems development when using Rust:

This section defines how the tools list is managed by the tooling subcommittee.

Does your company produce tooling in the safety-critical space? Can it be used with Rust?

We'd love to hear from you!

Today we had a representative from AbsInt describe how tooling works on Rust software. It operates at the binary level. (beep boop)

Make sure to consult the following table and always check with your Dungeon Master or Game Master for any homebrew rules when employing Safety-Critical Rust! ⤵

The Safety-Critical Dice have arrived! 🎲

As a Consortium member put it: "we put the safety-critical logo on the critical miss side to keep you safe!"

We hope to be able to hand them out at Rust conferences this year.

There's some other recent updates that we'll share soon!

For now if you'd like to check out the deployed version, here's a link to the Expressions chapter:

Miri can be run on any example code block so annotated with the `:miri:` option.

Plus, now any code block which includes `unsafe` will fail the build unless `:miri:` is attached with an attestation that either:
- UB should not happen (`:miri:`)
- UB should happen (`:miri: expect_ub`)

It was important for us to have fully compilable code available in the examples so that if copied, we'd provide something copy-pasteable easily into the Rust Playground or your own project to begin with.
December 25, 2025 at 9:14 PM
We've ensured that each code block is buildable and builds without warnings, adding this check into CI to ensure that remains the case.

Note here that we've got a hidden `fn main() {}` here that we can toggle between hidden and not.

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 folks 👋 the survey closes tomorrow, so be sure to get your thoughts in regarding "what it would take" to make Rust more suitable to your safety-critical industry and business!
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!

Do you know of a tool that'd be a good fit?

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

We'll probably see the work done by early next week leaning towards one guideline per page, unless folks speak up otherwise 😉
