If this is seen by a billionaire who'd like to move the needle on Rust's success in the greatest way, here is a roadmap for you. 1. Identify engineers with a minimum 2-year track record of dramatic productivity, tenacity, and low proclivity to bullshit (leadership roles,.

5-year reality check: directly depended on by 20% of crates and still climbing rapidly. Hopefully this motivates standardizing most of the functionality of these 2 crates into standard library #[derive(Display)] and #[derive(Error)] and a good anyhow::Error-equivalent type.

One of the most surprising conserved quantities in the Rust ecosystem: over a span of 10 years, the fraction of crates with a transitive dependency on libc remains 55% ± 2pp.

RT @eigen_spectra: @davidtolnay "medium-sized Rust codebase (10 million lines)" . lfg.

Career advice for an ambitious infrastructure engineer like me: find the world's largest Rust codebase and solve their hard problems. My team is hiring a senior engineer to work closely with me. In simple form, the job is: show up to an office in NYC, Seattle, Bellevue, or Menlo.

Now it's memecoin day.

Yesterday I made the blunder of mentioning AI.

Not long ago, I used to have a more optimistic impression of Rust users. I would not have guessed that so many otherwise-judicious people would go for blatantly AI-"maintained" Rust libraries. The `serde_yml` crate is a fork of a high-quality but unmaintained library. In the

RT @compiler_errors: What did I do in December in rustc?.

The variation I've gotten is: "highly competitive compensation package" … offers 7-figure pay cut.

Evidence that "async functions in traits" (Rust 1.75+) is successfully displacing usage of the old `async-trait` crate at ecosystem scale. Expect a second clear inflection point when async works natively in `dyn Trait`.

The "Rust syntax is not that bad" people have not yet discovered that the expression `x = y + . ` parses as `x = (y + . )` while the expression `x = . y` parses as `(x = . ) + y`. In other languages, the precedence of an operator depends on that operator. So it makes sense to.
