I am a Rust compiler engineer looking for a new job
For the past 3.75 years I have been fortunate to work on Futurewei’s Rust team, where I had enormous freedom to “make Rust better” however I see fit. It has been the highlight of my career and I am gr...

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode today!
FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings.
Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.

Three Trail of Bits engineers audited core Go cryptography for a month and found only one low-sev security issue... in unsupported Go+BoringCrypto! 🍾
Years of efforts on testing, limiting complexity, safe APIs, and readability have paid off! ✨
Yes I am taking a victory lap. No I am not sorry. 🏆

If you want to see an utterly mad codebase, I have a project for that:
github.com/ryancdotorg/...
I wrote Python scripts that generate C preprocessor macros which are evaluated to generate C and assembly source files which contain yet more macros which are then finally compiled.

☕️ We’re running LATTE again: our ASPLOS workshop about languages/compilers/tools/whatever for hardware design.
Submissions are just little 2-pagers, due on January 31. Plenty of time to throw something together! capra.cs.cornell.edu/latte25/

Back in April, @bcantrill.bsky.social and I talked to Andres Freund on the @oxide.computer podcast to discuss the xz fiasco; over on Mastodon I described making the image, and since its starting to be used without attribution, I thought I'd talk about it here... share.transistor.fm/s/e2538f7d
