Have you remember (or am I just oldie here) the story behind Firefox versus Iceweasel in Debian Linux distro? And how many years it was take for resolution of that situation for community?

Looks like Mozilla lawyers in Rust Foundation made the same for Rust name, logo and branding. They successfully thrown shit on a fan again.

This is bad for community, open source and projects, which are based on Rust language and bad for wide spreading and mass adoption of Rust language.

It's time to make a fork of Rust language compiler, consolidate community efforts on it and name it TRUST with Ferris logo. =) This way it will conform with FLOSS spirit.

(And looks like I should now unstick my favourite violet Rust logo from my old Thinkpad laptop.)

Crab Lang 🦀

Well, making a community driven and community oriented fork of a Rust language was only a question of time. History does repeat itself again.

Beware (or be aware, already) of community fragmentation!
'Cause it's already happening (Crab language as a response to Rust management mistakes)!

Here's the video about all recent events in the Rust community:

Rust language gaining more and more traction!

eBPF: Unlocking the Kernel

Documentary about the development process of #eBPF subsystem for #Linux by the Linux kernel hackers all over the world - the executor (#VM and #JIT compiler) of extended #BPF bytecode to run system programs safely in a kernel space and use Linux kernel API and system calls (including #POSIX).

This simplified the development of programs integrated with the Linux kernel in a better way, so cloud native landscape with cloud infrastructure development has been changed forever!

BTW, #Rust compiler has a eBPF backend, already proved for production grade programming and compilation, and has a bunch of good frameworks for developing for the Linux kernel using eBPF VM host functions interfaces.

Async functions and impl Trait in return position in traits.

Asynchronous functions and impl Trait (type which implements that particular trait) in return position for traits are finally stabilized and delivered in Rust stable branch! 🥳🎉🎊🍾
