Cetra's Thoughts

From the time of the last article, to now, I'm pleased to report that there has been a resurgence of activity in getting custom allocators stabilised in rust and we are closer than we've ever been.

The Allocators RFC is about to reach a decade milestone of it being accepted, but with no stabilisation.

MCP servers are useful tools that allow AI agents the ability to interact with applications in a prescribed fashion.

They say there are 2 hard problems in computer science, and I've hit all 3 of them....

One of the things I tackled early on with when creating DiveDB was trying to import a lot of metrics from dive logs.

At formlogic, we are using rust for a number of components within our tech stack, including: internal and external web applications, coordinating and logging machining workflows, parsing an industrial domain specific language (G-Code), and more.

When building in a strongly-typed language such as rust it's a shame to have to throw this strictness away, especially when dealing with the wild west of frontend stacks.

SQLx is a new async SQL Toolkit for rust that is closer to standard SQL than a more opinionated ORM like Diesel.

I have just released the first version of lorikeet-dash and part of that exercise was to find out a way to draw SVG graphs using rust.

In the last blog of this series, I implemented job queue with tmq.

I have just spent some time doing an initial async version of lorikeet now that the async/await syntax is stable and the ecosystem has caught up.

One of the challenges I have had with on premise solutions is the lack of reliable environments and constrained resources.

While upgrading dependencies (basically deleting Cargo.lock) in a big rust project I hit an issue.

With the new std::future way of doing things and tokio slowly reaching maturation, it's time to look at updating the libraries out there that are using the old ways.

2019 was another huge year for rust, but instead of implementing the shiny new thing, it's been a focus on refining existing ideas.

Last article I wrote about how to use tensorflow with rust.

One of the promises of machine learning is to be able to use it for object recognition in photos.

TMQ is a rust library to use ZeroMQ within the Tokio ecosystem.

2018 was a massive year for rust, and it's great to reflect back on how far we've all come.
