The next version of @nlnetlabs 's scripting language Roto (to be released sometime in December) will include a much-requested feature: lists! Below is a small example of lists in action, showcasing how easy it is to pass them to and from a Roto script. It will print `Result: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`.

I'd like to take a moment to explain why lists were so hard to include in Roto in a thread!

This my first Rust Egui desktop application. It allows to enter menu data and generates PDF output with typst-to-lib.

The program ships as a single executable file. It saves the data as a plain-text INI-file. The PDF shows the same data with different layouts over several pages.

Its build to spec for my wife and will be used at her workplace.

The hardcopy book of my Game Development in Rust with Macroquad guide is now available with a 25% discount until the end of the year.

The book describes how to write a simple 2D shoot ‘em up game using Rust and the game library Macroquad.

On behalf of the cargo-semver-checks project, it's my pleasure to recognize @jyn's irreplaceable and tireless work in the Rust community 🦀

I'll share just one anecdote; you can check out the GitHub Sponsors link to see more 🧵
#rust #rustlang #funding

@jyn cargo-semver-checks' most requested feature is cross-crate linting.

Building it requires cross-team collaboration between rustc, cargo, rustdoc, and cargo-semver-checks folks. It's a hard problem, and all those folks are extremely busy, so naturally it had stalled.

Last RustWeek, jyn guided ~15 stakeholders through ~2h of *intense* technical discussion until we emerged with a workable solution for cross-crate rustdoc JSON.

We've now made more progress in 6 months than in the prior 3 years.

This is just one of many such cases in jyn's portfolio.

If you've ever used Rust, you've felt jyn's positive influence — even if you never realized it.

I hope my token of recognition is just the start of jyn's invaluable work getting the funding it deserves.

Folks, can we get jyn some more funding?

Now that cats approve of Rust's garbage collection, it means that it's really established.

Sad to see the the @rust forum uses HCaptcha, thus preventing me as a blind user from signing up and posting my projects there. I'd like to escalate this to the right people, but it's hard to do so without an account on the forums. Anyone got any suggestions/know who I can reach about this? #Rust #Rustlang #Accessibility

I made another fun LLVM fix

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/169591

Making these changes is hard but the reviewers have been extremely helpful in polishing the implementation.

Fixing small missed optimizations like this is useful for rust because it allows e.g. miri to handle more SIMD code automatically.

I'm looking for a remote Rust/Elixir role (EU-friendly timezones, US East is ok).

I have 7 years of #rustlang, 9 years of #elixirlang, 20+ years of #linux.

I have over 20 years of experience as a professional developer, and I've been working remotely for 12 years, during which I helped US and EU companies build reliable software.

On the side, I've been developing #asciinema, the best tool to record and stream your terminal sessions. I talk about it in the context of Rust in this #RustaceanStation interview: https://rustacean-station.org/episode/marcin-kulik/

My current contract ends soon, so this is a great time to talk! I'm open to both full-time roles and short term contracts.

My linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcinkulik/

Boost please!
