This Week in Rust

First off, where the heck is May going? Where the heck is 2025 going? I swear, as I get older, time flies by faster and faster. 2025 is nearly half over, ridiculous.

Here's your This Week in Rust fix. Lot's of juicy stuff this week, including a celebration of 10 years of Rust! I wish I'd discovered the language sooner. Looking forward to taking part in the next ten years.

I still have the unfortunate tendency to bounce between things when I hit something that I can't get past. Over the past week I've drifted between trying to "help" with aspects of Pavex to re-discovering Actix Web and creating a baseline of an API for future projects.

Shuttle released version 0.55 this week, which notably contains support for the Rama framework. Rama is too advanced for me right now, but I suspect I'll try to get into it at some point. I've always been interested in trying my own take on nginx.

I'm reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. I have a general issue recognizing that small things add up to big things, so I'm hopeful James' writings will help me.

That's it for this week! Hit me up on X or use my contact form to share how your week in Rust, or whatever language you're into, is going!
