#EuroRust was SO fun! Thanks to too many people to fit here, the organisers, the speakers, the friends - I can't wait to come back next year. (Maybe I'll even have my OWN talk instead of riding on @fasterthanlime 's coattails 😁 )

First day of #Eurorust! :rust: @fasterthanlime and my talk is at 4pm, but we're starting out the day strong with the first talk, by the inimitable @oli, on my favorite #rust topic: ✨️ Moving your problems to compile-time ✨️ eurorust.eu/talks/move-your-problems
eurorust.eu
Move your problems to compile-time and get new capabilities out of it | EuroRust 2026
Rustaceans love it when their compiler tells them 'No'. It's hours of debugging work saved, and prevents whomever uses their software from having to deal with many problems that should never have reached production code.…
