[@00:08:38] - Quote of the
week
I wrote a bespoke time-series database in Rust a few years ago, and it has
had exactly one issue since I stood it up in production, and that was due to
pessimistic filesystem access patterns, rather than the language. This thing
is handling hundreds of thousands of inserts per second, and it’s even
threaded.
Given that I’ve been programming professionally for over a decade in Python,
Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript, Java, and Rust, I’ll pick Rust absolutely
any time that I want something running that I won’t get called at 3 AM to
fix. It probably took me 5 times as long to write it as if I did it in Go or
Python, but I guarantee it’s saved me 10 times as much time I would have
otherwise spent triaging, debugging, and running disaster recovery.

[@00:00] Welcome
[@00:10] - Introduction
[@00:50] - Agenda
[@01:23] - Quote of the week
This is the difference in approaches of the two languages. In C++ if the
code is vulnerable, the blame is on the programmer. In Rust if the code is
vulnerable, Rust considers it a failure of the language, and takes
responsibility to stop even “bad” programmers from writing vulnerable code.
I can’t stress enough how awesome it is that I can be a careless fool, and
still write perfectly robust highly multi-threaded code that never crashes.

[@09:09] - Sean: “Rust adoption has nearly quadrupled in the last two years, going from
600k developers in Q1 2022 to 2.2m in Q1 2022.”
[@13:00] - Redust by Will Nelson
[@13:50] Allen: I think the comments are actually more interesting. They
are starting to point to something really—I don’t know whether it’s
good or bad for the community—where, you know, people start rolling
their own crates instead of, say, doing stuff upstream. It kind of goes back
to what Tim was complaining about before [Easy Mode for
Rust, discussed on This Week in Rust - Issue 441]—well, lightly
pointing out to people out there—that okay, now which crate should I
use?
[@16:20] Tim: Open source is really complicated. You need to talk to
people. That’s … challenging. [Laughs]

There’s one quote I want to pull out of the post, which is: “I’m not sure
if there is even a good solution to this problem, but, if you are
super-paranoid and your goal is to be able to build trustable firmware, be
wary of Rust’s expansive software supply chain attack surface!”
[@26:09] - Sean: bunnie I think that you are absolutely, totally, qualified.
[@30:17] - Allen: I did see a macro that he put in there. … I forget
extact. It was very crazy and I was like, “Come on, no one’s every going to
write something crazy like this” and then I took a look at the RFC that
Sean’s gonna do and in the comments there was a crazy one like that and I
was like, “oh wow, this guy’s point’s valid”.

was: “Rust is also chronically friendly so nobody gets chewed out for making mistakes. They happen. They get caught. They get patched. You learn something new. It’s ok.”.

Rust in cURL
First time guest host, Allen Wyma talks with Daniel, the original author of cURL, about using Rust in cURL.
cURL is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs.
cURL, and its data transfer core, libcurl are both written in C, which is known to be not memory safe.
While it is almost impossibe to rewrite it into another language, offering a third-party library written in Rust could take a further step forward.
