Fearless SIMD v1.0 is here

Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Meanwhile DigitalOcean couldn’t afford $50 a month for GNOME and Flathub VMs and cancelled their sponsorship last month.

This release fixes a large number of security vulnerabilities. Most of the issues were related to DNSSEC validation, denial of service and resource consumption attacks, and reachable panics in pars...

The Rust Foundation is pleased to welcome Jess Izen (@jlizen) as our new Engineer in Residence. For the next year, Jess will work full time as part of the Foundation’s engineering team, taking directi...

You can no longer assume a mere VM will contain a sufficiently advanced AI agent.

This blog post describes how we used AI to help us rewrite a C library (giflib) to Rust to mitigate memory safety vulnerabilities.

Nearly 14 years later, the tale of this iconic couple can finally be told.

My last post on the Rust compiler’s performance was in December 2025. Let’s see what has happened since then.

A new ML-KEM-768 implementation using verified assembler from the mlkem-native project. This drops the dependency on libcrux-ml-kem from rustls-graviola and the crate feature. Runtime performance i...

As of 151.0.0, Firefox uses zlib-rs for gzip (de)compression. This is very exciting, and has both performance and safety advantages.

Over the past year, we've been silently working on our third compression project. After zlib and bzip2 we're now taking on zstd with libzstd-rs-sys, and are proud to announce its first release.

I've been considering moving from chrono to jiff. So far, I've been liking what I'm reading, especially when it comes to time zones. However, one thing stood out to me. That's the strftime and strp...

quick-xml relies on serde, which does not map well with xml. This switches to instant-xml, which uses it's own system for serialization and deserialization. It doesn't support streaming dec...

Description The macos-15-arm64/20260511.0048 image ships a Homebrew rustup at /opt/homebrew/bin/rustup (1.29.0) whose bundled rustup-init binary rejects standard argv that the rustup CLI passes to ...

Cellular modems are complex black boxes of legacy code, but Google is making them safer with Rust.

Since the LLVM 22 branch was cut, I've landed patches that parallelize more link phases and cut task-runtime overhead. This post compares current main against lld 22.1, mold, and wild. Headline: a Rel

Overview Offering top tier performance is a primary goal for the Rustls project. As such, the project has developed benchmarks representing some of the most performance critical functions and monitors them closely. The Rustls project periodically publishes test results that compare Rustls performance to other popular TLS libraries, OpenSSL and BoringSSL. The previously published test results are from July of 2025. The Rustls project is planning to start publishing performance reports more frequently going forward.

The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.
