wasm-pack is a tool for assembling and packaging Rust crates that target WebAssembly. These packages can be published to the npm Registry and used alongside other packages. This means you can use them side-by-side with JS and other packages, and in many kind of applications, be it a Node.js server side app, a client-side application bundled by Webpack, or any other sort of application that uses npm dependencies. We're recording a show with Lin Clark today and will definitely ask her all about the progress Mozilla folks have been making on merging the JavaScript and Rust worlds via WebAssembly. Exciting times!

It's a reimagining of the Singularity OS of old, using new technologies like WebAssembly and Rust. Using an intermediate language as a compile target for applications allows for architecture agnosticism and interesting optimizations that would not be possible on conventional OSes. Here's to the crazy ones. 🍻

Spotifyd streams music just like the official client, but is more lightweight, and supports more platforms. Spotifyd also supports the Spotify Connect protocol, which makes it show up as a device that can be controlled from the official clients. There was previously a spotifyd written in C, but apparently Spotify killed the library it used, so they had to rewrite from scratch. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Inspired by Vim’s modal editing, but built to be as simple as possible. This is no fly-by-night proof of concept. It’s 3 years in the making and looks extremely polished. I’m definitely going to give Amp a test-drive. 👌

We talked with Jeremy Soller, the BDFL of Redox OS, a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications. In this episode we talk about; OS design principals, Jeremy's goals for Redox, why is Rust, the Micro-kernel, the Filesystem, how Linux isn't secure enough, how he's funding this his development, and a coding style in Rust called Safe Rust.

Whether its compiling some fake code, downloading some fake files, or inspecting some fake hexidecimals, if you need to feign real work to impress your [boss|colleagues|s.o.], genact has you covered.

This framework is very much in the proof of concept stage. There's still a lot to do. The framework provides a seamless GraphQL interface for Rust servers. It is type-safe, ergonomic, very low boilerplate, and customizable. It has potential to be very fast. I believe that it can be one of the best experiences for GraphQL development in any language, as well as one of the fastest implementations (in part, because it seems to me that Rust and GraphQL are a great fit).

We're a week late on this one, but excited to see Sean and the Diesel team hit the big One O! For those who don't know, Diesel is: a safe, extensible query builder and ORM If you want to learn more about Diesel straight from the horse's mouth, go back and listen to Episode #270.

Inspired by Elm and React.

Zero-details, privacy-focused embeddable file system. It achieves privacy by encapsulating files and directories into an encrypted repo, then provides a virtual file system and exclusive access to authorized apps. But! Buyer beware: Zbox is under active development, we are not responsible for any data loss or leak caused by using it. Always back up your files and use at your own risk!

a SSH Agent that allow users to authenticate to UNIX/Linux SSH servers using the Secure Enclave My Touch Bar Macbook Pro may have just found its killer app.

Sean Griffin joins the show to talk about doing Rails full-time, his love of Rust. and his project Diesel - a safe, extensible ORM and query builder for Rust. We discuss Sean’s path to working full-time on Rails, what he works on specifically, why Rust, why Diesel, and how much of Diesel’s design and featureset is a product of his experience with ActiveRecord and Rails.

Jack Moffitt joined the show to talk about Servo, an experimental web browser layout engine. We talked about what the Servo project aims to achieve, six areas of performance, and what makes Rust a good fit for this effort.

Steve Klabnik and Yehuda Katz joined the show to talk about the Rust Programming Language, a systems programming language from Mozilla Research. We covered memory safety without garbage collection, security, the Rust 1.0 Beta, getting started with Rust, and we even hypothesize about the future of the Rust.
