Jon Seager (@jnsgruk) from @Canonical will kick off #rustconf by charting the journey behind shipping Rust rewrites of coreutils and sudo in Ubuntu 25.10 — and what it means now that Ubuntu 26.04 LTS carries them with 15-year support.

Wed Sept 9 in Montréal!

@mfranz_on Rust is pretty great. xAI code is mostly Rust and 𝕏 is rapidly replacing legacy Twitter Scala code with Rust.

Thank you @RustNationUK for gathering passionate people at one place, incredible event and atmosphere!

@VBragilevsky gave a Hands-On with Advanced Rust Types workshop at @RustNationUK yesterday. The room was packed as participants learned the nuances of associated types and GATs, and how they enable expressive abstractions while navigating current compiler restrictions. We’re happy to bring this challenge and make you grow 🚀🦀
