This blog post is bit of a culmination about me thinking about `n..` ranges in Rust for way too long time. It is about why I think the current semantics for the iterator are wrong. erk.dev/2026/08/30/r...

I have been thinking a lot about the RangeFrom type (n..) in Rust so I thought I would write up a bunch of history about to have somewhere to start a further discussion about it: erk.dev/2026/08/12/r...

I was asked recently about the cost of running a #rustlang conference and why the ticket prices are what they are. We figured we can just publicly share the numbers for RustWeek, in the name of #transparency. :) 1/9

Some fun compiler-adjacent #RustLang reading: How can you make sure [panic!] is unreachable in part of your program? This write-up goes into how we approached callgraph analysis in #Ferrocene – and how you can try it out for yourself! 👉 ferrous-systems.com/blog/callgra...
A colourful box that says: 
New blog post!
Callgraph Analysis
Writing custom lints for fun and profit! Compiler team lead Jynn Nelson dives into the world of static analysis and callgraphs by showing how Ferrocene ensures that only the most strictly tested code is used in safety-critical applications.

Cursed connector that we use at work, any guesses what it is for?
A cable coiled up with the connector in focus. The connector is square and split down the middle with two large connector poles on the left side, both with ¾ circle ¼ square protection around it, on the right side there are 3 pars first six holes, on bare connector pole in the middle and the last part is half holes half poles in a grid

Going to a chemistry cabaret at my old uni tonight. It is the newest of the science cabarets so it is fun to see how the running gags evolve. My favourite gag from the past few years have been about how all chemicals should just go into the handwash.
