This thing is handling hundreds of thousands of inserts per second, and it’s even threaded. Given that I’ve been programming professionally for over a decade in Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript, Java, and Rust, I’ll pick Rust absolutely any time that I want something running that I won’t get called at 3 AM to fix. It probably took me 5 times as long to write it as if I did it in Go or Python, but I guarantee it’s saved me 10 times as much time I would have otherwise spent triaging, debugging, and running disaster recovery. “Configuring uWSGI for Production Deployment” (2019) by at Peter Sperl and Ben Green from Bloomberg uWSGI’s max-requests and max-worker-lifetime options are intended to reduce the chance of memory leaks affecting production workloads [@00:14:47] - Crate of the week: osmpbf A Rust library for reading the OpenStreetMap PBF file format (*.osm.pbf).

Twitter: @rustaceanfm Discord: Rustacean Station Github: @rustacean-station Email: hello@rustacean-station.org Timestamps & referenced resources [@00:00] Welcome [@00:10] - Introduction [@00:50] - Agenda [@01:23] - Quote of the week This is the difference in approaches of the two languages. In C++ if the code is vulnerable, the blame is on the programmer. In Rust if the code is vulnerable, Rust considers it a failure of the language, and takes responsibility to stop even “bad” programmers from writing vulnerable code. I can’t stress enough how awesome it is that I can be a careless fool, and still write perfectly robust highly multi-threaded code that never crashes.

They are starting to point to something really—I don’t know whether it’s good or bad for the community—where, you know, people start rolling their own crates instead of, say, doing stuff upstream. It kind of goes back to what Tim was complaining about before [Easy Mode for Rust, discussed on This Week in Rust - Issue 441]—well, lightly pointing out to people out there—that okay, now which crate should I use?

[@30:17] - Allen: I did see a macro that he put in there. … I forget extact. It was very crazy and I was like, “Come on, no one’s every going to write something crazy like this” and then I took a look at the RFC that Sean’s gonna do and in the comments there was a crazy one like that and I was like, “oh wow, this guy’s point’s valid”.
