#rustconf2026 kicks off TOMORROW w/ badge pickup+workshops. Weds & Thurs we'll have keynotes & sessions (+more), & an UnConference on Fri to close things out. See you on the stream/in Montréal 👋 Tues schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/2026-09-08/l... Virtual: rustconf.com/virtual-guide/ #rustlang

That's nearly an hour of fast-paced content that covers a lot of ground across the #rustlang community! Catch the Community Lightning Talks Wednesday, Sept 9 at 16:50 at #rustconf26. In Montréal or on our livestream. Register: bit.ly/4gujuJe View ⚡️ talks on #rustconf schedule: bit.ly/4cYQj00

9) Ed Guloien (Mozilla) closes it out with Crates in Firefox over FFI: bringing the urlpattern crate into Gecko's C++ platform to ship a new Web API, and the joys of marshalling data across that boundary. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIux

8) Craig Hamilton (Umbra Lab) on zero-copy transfers with io_uring. Ditch the redundant memcpys and syscall churn of epoll, fixed buffers, registered files, and a practical file-to-socket pipeline. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIv6

6) Camille Owens (Development Seed) on building efficient web scrapers: Python's ease and data ecosystem vs. Rust's performance, memory safety, and concurrency. When does each win? View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIv0

5) Ethan Hann on layered configuration and safe hot reload. Most reload failures aren't file-watching problems, they're mutation problems. Ethan's model: validate first, snapshot immutably, swap atomically. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIuu

4) Kaitlin Seng (Ginger Cybersecurity) will give quick, practical tips for speeding up cargo build in CI where you can't lean on incremental compilation and every cold start counts. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KHtV

3) What if embedded Rust didn't have to be no_std? As MCUs get more powerful, Ian McIntyre is porting the standard library to high-end microcontrollers, and comparing it head-to-head with no_std. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIuo

2) Enow Scott (Adorsys) on Building Rust Africa: From Community to Continent-Scale Institution. Don't iss this story about what it takes to grow a #rustlang-obsessed community. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIul/...

1) Ron Williams kicks things off with a Redox OS update and live demo lightning talk. A Unix-like OS written entirely in Rust, aiming to be a complete Linux alternative for cloud and desktop. View ⚡️ talk on #rustconf schedule: rustconf2026.sched.com/event/2KIv9
