Everybody is rewriting their dev tools into Rust to make them faster.

This is highly unfair to #RustLang because its dev tools are already written in Rust and rewriting them to Rust is just not an option given that situation

This may not fit the 90% same machine situation but:

A few years ago, I looked around for IPC that would reliably scale to more than 1000 connections doing about 1 message/second with a few hundred bytes/message, and with forward secrecy.

The only thing that still fits that is #UDP (not TCP) over #wireguard.

For #rustlang udp means: do it yourself, no existing crates, allow for missing data, and #serde for the udp packet contents.

rust folks: opinions on RPC protocols and corresponding crates?

asking for a friend. they need to do local (same-datacenter, 90% same-physical-machine) low-latency RPC. <10k calls/second. will be a Rust server and Rust clients plus also Python clients

capnproto? grpc? what's the move

Next Wednesday, May 15 at @NorthSec in Montreal, I will be hosting the workshop "Reconstructing Rust Types: A Practical Guide for Reverse Engineers"! This will be a 3-hour workshop how to approach Rust types and data structures when reversing Rust binaries. See nsec.io/session/2025-reconstru for more details!

Workshops at NorthSec will be streamed on YouTube Live. My workshop is scheduled for 1300-1600 EDT (UTC-4) on Wednesday, May 15 in the Workshop 2 track, in Salle de la Commune. The stream link for all the Wednesday Salle de la Commune workshops is here: youtube.com/watch?v=UwJgS32Q6A

Looking forward to seeing folks there! 🦀

Calling all Rust educators at RustWeek! Join us for the Rust Educators Speed Date at the Trifecta Tech Foundation table on Wednesday 14 May, 11.00am (first coffee break).

Teach-rs maintainers @tamme and Marc would love to hear both your battle stories and any questions you have about teaching Rust in schools, universities, and beyond.

Look for us at the Trifecta Tech Foundation 'building blocks', near the Tweede golf booth!
