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

Just like last year, we replaced a whole wall of movie posters with our own punny movie posters at the cinema where RustWeek 2026 took place. I designed seven new posters for this year's event. See the thread below 👇

I've been to OSS events, Rust and non-Rust, and run by @rustnl.bsky.social and not run by them. By far, RustNL has always run the smoothest in my experience, and has been what *this* community is looking for. I think part of that is the population of attendees, and a lot of hard organizing work. ❤️

It's finally time to announce the opening talk of the RustWeek 2026 main track! 2026.rustweek.org/talks/taylor/ Don't forget to buy your tickets, before they run out!
The Language of Empathy
by Taylor Cramer

Late one night in January 2016, having spent hours in a university lab debugging seemingly intractable C++ bugs, I made the jump to Rust– a language that recognized my struggle. This empathy for the plight of systems programmers made Rust unique then, and it’s what makes the language invaluable now.

Empathy is a core design philosophy, a technical constraint, and a primary reason why people love writing Rust. This talk explores the tangible impact empathy has had on our code, tooling, and community. We will break down how this design ethos actively shapes our software and explore practical tools for building more empathetic relationships and more robust systems.

The "average Rustacean causes 100 segfaults a year" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average Rustacean causes zero segfaults per year. Segfault Nia, who lives in cave & causes over 700 million segfaults each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

“Imagine how good it could be if all the hype is real!” Bro you don’t have to tell me that, that has been my line trying to convince you for half a decade to switch to a programming language that makes half your bugs just evaporate overnight. 7/7
