And we wrap up with a great look into the journey of @meilisearch.com by Clément Renault (@kerollmops.com) , covering how they tackled the initial challenges, integrating semantic search, and then getting better at it with the magic of OSS (cc Nate Nethercott)!! 💫⚡🦀

Followed by Jonas Kruckenberg (@jonaskruckenberg.de) taking us into the rabbit hole of how stack unwinding works under the hood, where we cross over from the comfort of rust into asm and elf!! 🦀🐰🐉🔄

Next up we have Jana Dönszelmann showing us how not all rust attributes are made the same! An interesting dive into the different types, how they are currently handled in the compiler, some interesting bugs, and the impressive work being done to improve it! 🙌🏼👏🏼🦀

And a masterclass by Kiril Karaatanasov on modeling a large OO domain involving deep type hierarchies in Rust, tackling trait narrowing, serde etc. with custom codegen, enabling ergonomic usage for end users! ✨🙌🏼🦀
And guess what, all this black magic is open source!! github.com/noclue/vim_rs

Followed by a great talk by Michele Vigilante showing us what creating an ETL pipeline in Rust looks like today! Other than being a great look into the state of Rust in Data Engineering, it was also a great introduction to DE in general, so check it out if you're new to DE! 🐼🦀🙌🏼

And a great talk by Willem Vanhulle on creating stream operators, going into pin projection and synchronization with some very neat diagrams (typst, btw)! ✨🦀
(Note to self: Look into the implementation of std::future::ready)

Off to a great start with Victoria Brekenfeld diving into experiences working on Cosmic DE, very interesting how different things shaped the various choices (no async!). So much work done to advance the rust desktop story! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
(Also, iced.rs looks pretty cool!)

I had some free time recently – so decided to complete CodeCrafters' "Build Your Own Kafka" challenge. When I started this challenge at the start of this year, I had three goals:
1. Get more hands-on experience with Rust
2. Get to know Kafka internal better
3. Complete the challenge
