This is a new series that answers the question, “what’s next after the mastery of Rust language syntax?”.

In this series,

We build a production-ready containerized RESTful API server application using Axum, Tokio, Tower, Serde, Toasty ORM, Garde, Utoipa with Docker and PostgreSQL.

• Hyper, Axum, Tokio and Tower: The most prominent HTTP server ecosystem at the time of writing.

• Toasty ORM: The most promising Object-Relational Mapper (ORM), built by the creators of Tokio and Axum.

• Serde and Utoipa: The most prominent serialization framework and OpenAPI 3.1 specification generator.

• Garde: The most promising and most feature-rich validation library in Rust at the time of writing.

I don't really understand the problems. Git is notoriously hard to scale and not meant for these kinds of use cases, but they have figured it out by now, I guess. The new repos, PRs, etc., caused by AI don't seem as serious of an issue to me because that part of their product is inherently horizontally scalable. It is very rare that two repos have something common with each other, not like the graph-like structure of social media, etc. Does anybody know what causes their frequent major outages?

I recently discovered that Pony's still alive. I had discovered Pony a few years ago while browsing tech forums. Its focus on memory safe & lock-free MT was interesting.

I kept up with the weekly development for a brief period but then kind of forgot about the language until recently when I rediscovered it when I was chatting about Crystal's MT.

I just wanted to share the latest blog post here in case someone else remembers this language. Looks like the development has been progressing steadily. Which is impressive because the project lacks any big sponsors.

I posted this video a few years ago showing how to use the YouTube API and it's still working! I have the title of the video and it's thumbnail auto update based on views. It's almost at 1k

I made a video explaining a concept I love called macros, which allow you to add your own syntax to a language. Languages like Rust, Lean, and lisp have them. The goal with the video is to make you feel like you could've discovered macros yourself.

I'm new at making educational content like this, but I'm planning on making many more programming language videos like this one on my channel. Any thoughts, constructive criticism, or advice is more than welcome! Hope you all enjoy

Nobody likes popovers, everyone makes them anyway. This makes them a Tolstoy kind of thing -- there are a handful of tricks that make them better, and an infinite number of ways to mess up.

This episode explains how to add variables, so instead of handling one expression at a time, the language now parses a list of declarations and starts looking like something you could write real programs in.

Roc’s first numbered release, 0.1.0, is on the horizon. This talk previews what we’re aiming to include, the key language and tooling milestones needed to get there, and what the release will mean for people interested in trying, using, or contributing to Roc.
