You need break the routine.
I haven’t really done that lately. 🤔 Maybe have another go at Rust (given its increasing importance in the Linux kernel)? Or Elixir, yes, I only had some very, very brief contact with it. 🤔
I just came across an old forum posting of mine about Prolog. That brought up some memories. Prolog is pretty alien, but I do miss stuff like that because it’s so different.
Just thinking out loud here. 😅

Memory safety for web fonts in Chrome: Google replaces FreeType with Rust-based alternative
There’s no escaping Rust, and the language is leaving its mark everywhere. This time around, Chrome has replaced its use of FreeType with Skrifa, a Rust-based replacement.

Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.1
This is mostly a bugfix release over version 1.9.0.
The main fix is the rust JID implementation that would behave incorrectly when
hashed if the JID contained non-ascii characters. This is an important issue as
using a non-ascii JID was mostly broken, and interacting with one failed in
interesting ways.
- The previously mentioned JID hash issue
- Various edge cases in the roster code

Redox continues adding dynamic linking support
These months are coming and going way too fast, for a whole variety of reasons, so we’ve got another month of improvements for Redox, the operating system written in Rust.

Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.0
It has not been too long since 1.8.6 and here we are with 1.9.0, which is kind of a major release (following the well-known pridever numbering scheme).
Long story short, there are at least two major changes warranting the new number (and plenty of other things, read on!):
- switching the cython jid implementation for a rust one, which will be faster and more correct
- removing the xmpp.process() method (planned since the 1.8.0 release)

zlib-rs is faster than C
I’m sure we can all have a calm, rational discussion about this, so here it goes: zlib-rs, the Rust re-implementation of the zlib library, is now faster than its C counterparts in both decompression and compression. We’ve released version 0.4.2 of zlib-rs, featuring a number of substantial performance improvements. We are now (to our knowledge) the fastest api-compatible zlib implementation for decompression, and beat the competition in the most important compression cases too. ↫ F … ⌘ Read more
