Pyrefly vs. Ty: Comparing Python's two new Rust-based type checkers
(edward-li.com)
Earlier this month, two new Rust-based Python type checkers hit the spotlight: pyrefly and ty. Although neither is officially released, they are a welcome change to the Python type checking world, historically dominated by mypy and pylance.

Understanding Memory Management, Part 6: Basic Garbage Collection
(educatedguesswork.org)
This is the sixth post in my multipart series on memory management. You will probably want to go back and read Part I, which covers C, parts II and III, which cover C++, and parts IV and V which cover Rust. C++ RAII and Rust do a lot to simplify memory management but still force you to constantly think about how you are using memory (this is even more true with Rust).

Improving performance of original dav1d video decoder
(videolan.org)
I noticed a very clickbait bounty, I initially realized that company's original task was not to overtake implementation, but to advertise that Rust is 5% slower than C. Whether she actually pays or not is another matter. The main thing for Prossimo was to make a fuss that the current rav1d implementation was only 5% slower, so that the general public would think that the language was the same in speed.

Existential Types in Rust
(lwn.net)
For several years, contributors to the Rust project have been working to improve support for asynchronous code. The benefits of these efforts are not confined to asynchronous code, however. Members of the Rust community have been working toward adding explicit existential types to Rust since 2017.

Scanner – The Team Accelerating Log Analysis with Rust
(filtra.io)
Scanner is a petabyte scale log search and storage tool. We basically do log search and analysis at very, very large scales for cloud-specific architectures. The way we currently brand it right now is as a “diet Splunk.” It's a product that's ten times cheaper than Splunk and significantly faster than Splunk. In exchange, it doesn't have a lot of the long tail features that Splunk has. That's the current trade-off.

Evolution of Rust Compiler Errors

I recently attended RustWeek (which was totally awesome) and the talks by Alex Crichton (on the history of Rust) and Pietro Albini (on the importance of error messages) inspired me to do a little archaeology into the way Rust compiler messages have evolved over time.
