Languages grow slowly. It’s okay to think of #RustLang #Rust as a "young" language (even though it’s somewhere between 10 and 19 years old, depending on how you measure it). There is all kinds of activity developing it further; fixing shortcomings; improving ergonomics.

Now that I think of it, most modern languages are still under active development. Hmmm. I guess nothing stands still.

Behold, the novice Rustacean's manifesto on "idiomatic" Rust: a delightful chronicle of their fledgling #journey, complete with insightful examples that might just change tomorrow! But fear not, dear reader, as this personal perspective is as solid as a programmer's first "Hello, World!"

Introducing Austral: because clearly what the world was missing was #Rust wearing Ada's hand-me-downs.

Since I was skeptical when the account followed me, I asked.

@rustfoundation is legitimate and not impersonation.

How do you know if someone is a #Rust developer?

Memory safety for web fonts: Skrifa is written in Rust, and created as a replacement for FreeType to make font processing in Chrome secure for all users. Skifra takes advantage of Rust's memory safety, and lets us iterate faster on font technology improvements in Chrome. Moving from FreeType to Skrifa allows Google to be both agile and fearless when making changes to our font code. https://developer.chrome.com/blog/memory-safety-fonts Does anyone know how Firefox handles web fonts security?
