Did you make a cool project? Did you have an interesting experience? Have you learned or invented new idioms or techniques? Share them at RustWeek!

We want to have a varied selection of talks, so talks for any level of experience or domain are welcome! (Related to Rust, of course 😄)

something i have tried to explain a few times, when people see crashes (panics, asserts, segfaults, whatever) as "bad":

when you have a bug, your program crashes if you're lucky. If you're not lucky, your program keeps running, but it is now a different program than you think it is. That's worse.
“rust isn’t safe because it panics” shut da fuck up rust is safe BECAUSE it panics. instead of, you know. not doing that.

“lazy use of unwrap blew up a process and took out the internet” bzzt. wrong. judicious use of unwrap blew up a process instead of allowing an Extremely Named CVE to happen and spraying your bank account credentials all over the public internet
People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem.

People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.

DNSSEC pipelines → #BGP collectors → Roto → zero-copy #Rust.

`Frame`s, converted to "regular" integers like so:
`backtrace::trace(|_| count += 1; true)`

What's your favorite integer type in Rust? Mine is `Vec<()>`.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

I collaborated with @cirw.in at EuroRust to make a Zed extension for Roto! It's based on the tree-sitter grammar and supports syntax highlighting and generating an outline. It can be installed via Zed's regular extension manager.

Thanks @cirw.in!
