proud to share that I was selected to serve on the Rust Project Leadership Council!
my role's to represent the interests of the top-level Language team, and all sub-teams =)

i'll share my experiences doing @rustlang training at tomorrow's Rust SIG at @SDVeclipse on 10-13 @ 10am EDT / 4pm CEST
i've done more lecture style, more hands-on, and also run some agentic engineering training and wanna share
you can find the .ics below to join ;D

It's really quite something when doing stuff with LLMs that you have to oscillate between deliberately built verification systems and just yelling at your little demon servant differently
was back to the Woven by Toyota office in Nihonbashi, running a @rustlang training for 20 participants! ~40 more folks or so signed up for sessions in January =)

Goose: my latest programming language. Safer, faster and less memory than Rust/C++ for algorithms where tightly packed, flat data structures matter.
It can represent more kinds of data structures as flat, pointer-free bytes than any language I know.

a weird effect of
+seattle downtown retail in freefall
+Amazon return to office policy
+the ever-tightening ratchet of funko-pop millennial infantilization
is the preponderance of new "team outing morale event" storefronts in the vicinity โ escape rooms, DIY pottery, etc
a task that used to take me 1-3 days just took me 15 minutes with GLM-5.3 (extracting key material from a improperly implemented encrypted firmware upgrade and extracting/validating the firmware)

Nicholas Nethercote has been doing great work on speeding up the Rust compiler.
I'm proud that we at OpenAI will be funding his work, alongside others, as part of a Rust Project Goal to make rustc faster.
Lori Lorusso and David Wood come by the @SDVeclipse Rust SIG today in ~45 minutes!
come learn about what the Rust Commercial Network does
we'll get started at 10am EDT / 4pm CEST
wanna meet up with others that also are trying to use Rust in your sector? check out the RCN =)
yes! i ran a Rust + agentic engineering workshop last month and by far things like this helped make one group's code more readable and understandable by them (and me!)
If you're worried about not knowing Rust before embarking on a side quest to see whether it could fit in your stack, here's a tip: Include a line in your AGENTS.md file to optimize for readability and long term maintenance by devs well are inexperienced with Rust.
