actix-web is dead. This situation is bad, from all sides. When Rust was a tiny, tiny community, I thought to myself, “wow, I wonder how long this will last? Probably 1.0 will kill it.” Sort of playing off of Eternal September, I assumed that over... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

A little over a year ago, I wrote “Should you learn C to ‘learn how the computer works’”. It was a bit controversial. I had promised two follow-up posts. It’s taken me a year, but here’s the first one. In that post, I argued that C doesn’t “work... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

One fun thing about having a personal domain is that you can keep the contents the same forever, but take a few days every so often to port it to some new stack you want to try out. A while back, I had my site on GitHub Pages using Jekyll. This... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

I’ll be the product manager of Storage, which is the part of the company that’s working on data storage products for the Cloudflare Workers platform. I’ll be starting at the end of the month.

I decided to try and learn Ada. I love programming languages. This post documents my attempt, and explains what I learned. This is pretty stream of consciousness and basically is a bunch of random notes, so if you hate that, better close the tab.... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

There’s a war going on. When isn’t there a war going on? But I’m not talking about a physical war here: I’m talking about a war over meaning. This particular war is a fight over what “open source” means. Let’s take a few steps back. The Free... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

On December 18, 20091, the Semantic Versioning specification was announced. More commonly known as SemVer, it provided guidance for developers regarding software versions: I propose a simple set of rules and requirements that dictate how version... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

I started working at 15, when I took a job as a pizza cook. Over the next seven years, I moved up the ranks, to a driver, shift manager, and then as part of the “new store opening team.” The franchise was growing, and we needed to help new... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

Each year, we ask the community to write blog posts about what they want to see on Rust’s roadmap for the next year. This is my post for Rust in 2019. Rust 2021: Maturity # This year is also a bit special; in 2018, we introduced “editions” to... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman
