Today’s my last day at AWS working on the Rust compiler. Unfortunately, back in July I received notice that I had to choose between moving to Boston from NYC, or leaving the company due to RTO policy. I unfortunately couldn’t abandon the city I plan on being my long term home.
- so excited for this project go grab a cd immediately ‼️
- github.com/rust-lang/rust… is the beginning of a fix for all the nonsense lifetime errors you probably encounter when writing async code in Rust that heavily uses lifetimes. github.com/rust-lang/rust…: if you've ever hit any of these issues, I'd like your feedback when the PR lands.
- Bad news -- I'm not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation demands. If anyone has any leads for roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.
- I contributed quite a few things to this release, including async closures and lots of parts of Edition 2024. I'm finally glad that it's out.Rust 1.85.0 has been released! 🌈🦀✨ Not only does this release add async closures, it also includes a whole new Rust Edition, Rust 2024! 🎆🚀 Check out the blog post for an overview of all the changes and additions: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/20/Rus…
