I think “Programming Languages Today and Tomorrow” is a perfect title for this lecture! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1e...

To those Rustaceans who are unhappy about what Andrew Kelley said about Rust: watch this deeply technical talk by Lukas @lukaswirth.dev from rust-analyzer and Vlad @bloodless.me from @rustrover.jetbrains.com. These guys love #rustlang! Watch until the end to hear them confess it!

We had an amazing experience at #RustWeek and even managed to get a group photo of the RustRover team!

#RustWeek has officially started with the talk of the year! @lukaswirth.dev and Vlad Beskrovniy speak about RustRover and rust-analyzer, their history, architecture, and what makes IDEs different from compilers.

The only talk I've managed to attend at #pyconUS: @emmatyping.dev speaking about bringing Rust to CPython

For the last four years, I’ve been giving lectures to students twice a year. This one is tomorrow!

It's easy to see that it's going to be a great talk from the very first second: @maritvandijk.bsky.social and @piotrprz.bsky.social at #vdthess25 #voxxeddaysthessaloniki

Sometimes you don’t need to make silly faces to get views…

One great perk of speaking at @devoxxuk is getting professional photos! Credit: @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social

Cyprus is an amazing destination for hiking. And we have snow here!

I'm reading Arturo Pérez-Reverte's History of Spain. It's entertaining, but I imagine many people in Spain must hate him!

I’ll be speaking at Rust Nation UK this February! Join me as we explore how functional programming concepts can enhance our Rust code. Check out the amazing lineup of speakers at www.rustnationuk.com/speakers.

Cooking something that makes me feel good…

I’m not a competitive programmer—far from it. I never received formal education in advanced algorithms and data structures. In fact, I can’t even implement Dijkstra’s algorithm without referring to Wikipedia. Yet, I still participate in Advent of Code competitions. I’ve never made it onto an official leaderboard; I’m too slow for that. My solutions are rarely, if ever, the best in class. Sometimes, I compare them to those shared on GitHub, Reddit, or X, and mine are always longer, less efficient, and more ad hoc. But I still enjoy solving those puzzles. This blog post is for people like me—those who love the process and want to use RustRover, JetBrains’ Rust IDE, to make the experience even better.
