Rust: understanding strings and sneakily learning to understand Rust
A heartfelt thank you to all our guests and listeners for making 'Rust in Production' such a joy to create. 🎄
Today we're releasing our second holiday special, in which we reflect on two years of stories from the Rust community and take a look at 2026.
Grab yourself some hot chocolate and a Rust-shaped cookie and enjoy!

bump this because I'm still puzzled... 👆 #rustlang #ratatui .
I have an arbitrarily long Vec of Lines (logs), of which I want to display only the Nth lasts in a Paragraph... I don't know the height of the Paragraph as it takes all the available space in a "cell" of a layout...
if I use .scroll((logs.len() as u16, 0)) , no line is displayed, I should substrat the number of lines to display... which I don't know 🤔

how can we cut our CI times by 50–90% and reduce our dependency on #github actions, securely and cheaply enough for a large public #rustlang codebase?
we did exactly that for @servo by building a self-hosted runner system that does virtual machine orchestration under the hood, all for barely 400 EUR/month!

Funny that you should ask. I went to the LinkedIn post, and there's a hyperlink there to the actual job listing on Microsoft's WWW site.
It is patently LLM-written. The 'Responsibilities' section shouts that fact the loudest.
https://careerhub.microsoft.com/careers/job/1970393556639051
Amusingly, for a job that deals in rewriting things in Rust, actual experience with that language is an optional requirement, whereas >= 6 years experience in Python or JavaScript fulfils the mandatory requirement.
Mind you, job listings have been autocompleted using boilerplate, especially by recruitment agencies, for decades.
Just published a new #rustlang reqwest release candidate: v0.13.0-rc.1.
This has some breaking changes, the biggest was switching to rustls by default.
I'd appreciate if you gave it a spin 🙏

Just released the 0.15 version of the Rust askama crate (which handles jinja templates at compile-time).
The full changelog is here: https://github.com/askama-rs/askama/releases/tag/v0.15.0
It comes with a crazy amount of new stuff, like support for templating on enum variants, or the beginning or better compilation errors (in some cases it actually shows you in the template where the bug is!).
We also extended what Rust expressions you can use in the templates and made a lot of performance improvements (to reduce compile-time).
Enjoy!
