This Week's Project Spotlight 🦀

zbus

Zbus is a Rust API for D-Bus communication. It’s goal is to provide a safe and simple high- and low-level API akin to GDBus, that doesn't depend on C libraries.

We’ve added a new Embedded Rust workshop to the schedule! 🦀 In this hands-on workshop with Björn and @domenicquirl, you’ll learn how to develop embedded software projects in Rust with the Embassy framework and wire your own hardware prototypes on a breadboard. No experience with embedded development or async needed! ✨

#RustLang pro-tip:

When wanting to inspect the value of a binding in a let-chain, you can take advantage of blocks being expressions as well and add one in the middle of the chain

if let Some(next) = iter.peek()
&& {
tracing::info!(?next);
true
}
&& let Some(...) = ...

This is less disruptive than having to disentangle the chain every time you want to inspect something in the middle

It's Friday again, so it's time for yet another update on the work on Diesel, a ORM and query-builder for Rust.

This week we got no new bug report and only one new PR. This was a really quite week.

The LLM+agent decided that the right solution to a certain issue on a newer #rustlang MSRV was to vendor and patch a foundational crate.

I am impressed by how absolutely insane that is.

In my opinion, when it comes to level of maturity/evolution of these languages

K&R C ≈ Java 1.1.1 ≈ Rust 0.x
ANSI C/C89 ≈ Java 6 ≈ Rust 2015 edition
C99 ≈ Java 8 ≈ Rust 2021 edition

#Rust #RustLang #Java #C

Thanks to @muscraft, annotate-snippets-rs might have a new "no-graphics" mode in the short term (and in turn, add that support to rustc).
We are still iterating on the specifics, but I would like to hear what people's reaction to the current state is.

One month into the new AI Security Engineer in Residence role, Jacob Finkelman shares what's been keeping him busy at the Rust Foundation: talking with maintainers and security teams across the ecosystem, building a prioritized database of crates to scan, and running early scans with Scrutineer, plus the tricky question of when bugs should be embargoed vs. reported openly.

🕹️ Pixel8 is out! A tiny fantasy console where the games are written in **Rust**.

Think PICO-8, but with a Rust compiler where the Lua interpreter would be: you write a little Rust, it compiles to WebAssembly, and it runs sandboxed inside the console at a steady 60 fps.

The constraints are the point:
▪️ 128x128 screen, 16 fixed colors
▪️ 256 8x8 sprites, a 128x64 tile map
▪️ 64 sound effects, 64 music patterns, 4 audio channels
▪️ 128 KiB carts, 128 KiB RAM, a per-frame CPU budget

What you get:

🖥️ A boot console + five built-in editors (code, sprite, map, sfx, music), all drawn on the same 128x128 screen as the games.

📦 Projects are real Cargo crates. Prefer your own editor? `$EDITOR` + `cargo build` works identically (the console hot-reloads the wasm on save).

🖼️ Carts are real PNG images: cartridge art with a screenshot of your game as the
label and the *full game* is embedded inside: compiled wasm, all assets, and
(optionally) the Rust source. The picture you share **is** the game.

🌐 One-command web export: a single self-contained HTML file anyone can play in a browser.

⌨️ A terminal frontend (`pixel8-tui`): the full console (editors, carts and all), over sixel or unicode half-blocks.

🎮 A standalone player that runs on retro handhelds (PowKiddy, Anbernic & friends on ArkOS/ROCKNIX) as a single static binary. Drop it in the ports folder with your carts and play.

🔁 A PICO-8 importer: sprites, flags, map, sfx and music from `.p8`/`.p8.png` carts transfer almost one-to-one into a new Rust project.

🔒 A real sandbox: carts run in wasmi with no filesystem, no network, no WASI. Just a small C-like ABI and fuel metering turns infinite loops into a friendly error screen instead of a freeze.

Free and open source (GPL-3.0). Get it from crates.io:

```
cargo install pixel8-console
pixel8
```

Pixel art platformer game on Pixel8's 128x128 pixel screen: a dark blue night sky with white clouds, grey brick platforms floating at various heights, and gold coins to collect. A red four-legged monster sprite stands mid-screen and two green slime enemies sit on the grassy ground at the bottom. The top bar reads "Score 1", "Best 10" and a coin counter showing 26.

Alt...

Pixel8's built-in sprite editor, itself rendered in chunky 128x128 pixel art with a magenta and black theme. On the left, a zoomed 8x8 editing canvas shows the red monster sprite; on the right, the 16-color palette, brush-size selector and tool icons (pencil, fill, shapes, pan). Below, a strip of the project's other sprites — bricks, coins, slimes, clouds — and a status bar reading "Spr 001 flags 00000000".

We're BACK this fall at @ringzer0 with another round of Deconstructing Rust Binaries! October 26-31, 16 hours of virtual training focused solely on reversing Rust binaries.

Reminder: I'm hosting **Rust Berlin Meetup** next week! 🦀📢

📅 Thursday, Jul 23 · 6:30 PM CEST

#rustlang #meetup #berlin

We're huge fans of Rust, and it's been helping us build mission-critical software for the last six years. We love the community and we try to give back where we can. Starting next week, we're giving back in a new way: in collaboration with @rustnl, we're giving our optimization-obsessed @bal4e one day a week to speed up the Rust compiler. We're so excited to see what she can do!
