Hosting a conference in a cinema is genius.

The train schedule from Schiphol Airport to Utrecht Centraal, Showing nine options within one hour.

The RustWeek conference venue is right next to Utrecht Central Station, the biggest and most central train station of the Netherlands, just 30 minutes from one of the most connected airports of Europe, and very easy to reach by international train! 🚄

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers!

RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉

rustnl.org/maintainers/

employment status update: i am!

starting 1-st of may i'll be working full time as a rust maintainer in @rustnl.bsky.social's maintainers team. a dream come true :)

i'll be continuing work on maintaining the rust compiler & related projects, but now full time & paid ^^'

The "average Rustacean causes 100 segfaults a year" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average Rustacean causes zero segfaults per year. Segfault Nia, who lives in cave & causes over 700 million segfaults each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

A restaurant filled with many Rustaceans.

Next to three tracks in big cinema rooms, we will also have an amazing hallway track. We rented out the entire 1000-person capacity restaurant attached to the cinema!

This space is available all day during the conference, has many six-person booths with power sockets, and even a nice outdoor space.

A picture of one of the canals of beautiful Utrecht, with the Dom church tower in the background, people walking by the shops, and lots of bicycles parked against the railing.

Utrecht (in the Netherlands) is one of the nicest and most walkable (and cyclable!) cities on earth. ~80% of all movements in the city happen by foot or by bike! 🚲

And RustWeek takes place in the very center of it! Come visit RustWeek and Utrecht!

RustWeek volunteers in yellow RustWeek shirts printing out RustWeek badges for RustWeek visitors.

At RustWeek, your badge is printed on the spot. We have half a dozen badge printers, so no lines waiting for someone to find your badge!

Typo'd your name? New employer? Decided to change your name during the conference? No problem! Just update your profile and we'll instantly print you a new badge!

A pie chart showing 1122 wifi clients, with roughtly a fifth Android, another fifth iOs, and smaller chunks for MacOS, Ubuntu, Windows, and other devices.

Fun fact: Just for RustWeek, the internet infrastructure in the venue gets a big temporary upgrade with extra wifi access points that get installed in the restaurant and the cinema rooms, because y'all bring more than 1 device on average and use a lot more bandwidth than the average cinema visitor.

I feel like removing references from Rust would "solve" a lot of problems. ;)

I made another 120 Rust buttons for you all this morning. If you want one, come find me at #RustNationUK on Thursday!

I have bright pink hair now, so should be easy to find.

I am once again sitting in a very fast train to London for #RustNationUK. See you all there!

Catch me on the main stage at RustWeek for the first time! I’ll be speaking on programming languages as a community of belonging, how our perception of what being a programmer has changed over time, and what that means for our communities in the future

The source of the standard Rust Hello World program with the generated assembly before and after the change. The before version has 11 instructions and stores 56 bytes on the stack. The after version has 3 instructions and stores no data on the stack.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

Come say hi at #fosdem this weekend!

We might seriously consider that actually! Maybe some sort of "help me move to the Netherlands" desk at the conference or something. Multiple people have already moved to Utrecht and Delft because of RustWeek/RustNL! :D

Only seven hours left to submit your talk proposal for RustWeek 2026!
