REST still dominates APIs — but gRPC keeps proving its worth in distributed systems.
On Netstack.FM 🎙 Ep.9 we talked with @luciofran.co, creator of #Tonic, about what #gRPC really is, why it matters for #Rust, & how Google chose to collaborate on “gRPC Rust.”

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years and almost my 10 year anniversary. I still remember my roommate in college telling me this was going to be a dad and that I would only use rust for 1 month.
Live from the 10 Years of Rust celebration in Utrecht, Netherlands, we are very happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.87.0!

See the blog post and release notes for all the details!
