I am going to give a talk about why tokio.rs is a great choice for running CPU bound tasks in Database Query Egnines

🙏⛪🦀

So, I was playing with Gemini...

The @release-plz.dev crate is the tool I've been wanting for years! I've only added it to two crates so far, but it makes releasing crates so easy. I will be adding it to more over time for sure.

There will most likely be one in 2027, as long as this one doesn't turn out to be a disaster! First time trying to organize a conference, learning as I go.

Just delay the child release a few months

It is not too late!

No more talking about rust-analyzer on /r/rust either. That is now "off topic": github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Yep, rust-lang is also off-topic now: www.reddit.com/r/rust/comme...

Do you use rustfmt? Do you use IDE refactoring? BANNED.

This means I am effectively banned from /r/rust. I use some amount of AI tools in all my coding now. Nothing I do is 100% human written.

Apparently, if a crate is not 100% human written, it is off topic for /r/rust: reddit.com/r/rust/comme.... I have been working on Toasty for 3 years, 9 months with AI tools. I am quite proud of the code quality and stand by it. By their standard, the entire tokio-rs GitHub organization is now OT.

crates.io: Rust Package Registry

Toasty, an async ORM for Rust, is now on crates.io. This is the blog post that I promised: tokio.rs/blog/2026-04.... Happy to answer any questions here.

If you want to guarantee your t-shirt size, book in the next week!

TokioConf T-Shirt

We are 3 weeks out from the first @tokioconf.com. Spoiler: This is the t-shirt! I just saw the design and had to share it. It is so exciting to see it all come together. You still have time to get tickets, but not much time! tokioconf.com.

A preview of the Toasty query! macro: github.com/tokio-rs/toa.... Some of it is already built: docs.rs/toasty/lates...

I'm glad to hear! There is still a lot to build, and I have so many more ideas. I also have more in the pipeline for building web apps with Rust. I am aiming to make it as productive as any other language!

GitHub - tokio-rs/toasty: An async ORM for Rust (incubating) An async ORM for Rust (incubating). Contribute to tokio-rs/toasty development by creating an account on GitHub.

I finally published Toasty (async Rust ORM) crates! I’ll be writing about it soon (and why it took so long). github.com/tokio-rs/toa...

What list is this and how do I get on it?

give 👏 clippy 👏 the 👏 call 👏 graph

It’s also really hard to detect regressions in an automated way… my guess is regressions are deployed and patched constantly

I’m having no problem. Claude code with opus 4.6 is doing really well (most of the time)

Wow, dial9 (by Russel Cohen) looks killer. It's a flight recorder for Tokio that gathers runtime metrics and renders them. Service teams at AWS have already had success with it. Blog post: tokio.rs/blog/2026-03...

My guess is there is a bigger strategic goal: Make creating software approachable for non-developers (people who never look at the code). To do this well is going to mean "owning the stack". From that angle, owning package managers makes sense.

We're setting aside 20 free TokioConf tickets for contributors and open source maintainers. If you've submitted a PR to any tokio-rs, hyperium, or tower-rs repo, that's you. Know someone who qualifies? Send them our way! tokio.rs/blog/2026-03...

Same old story: big company takes over, talented employees move on, corporate pushes new features and deadlines, Jr devs w/ no ability to push back ship as fast as possible, sacrificing quality. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks for the offer. I think we can still use volunteers for the day of. Send an email to hello@tokioconf.com

High Leverage | Ep. #6, Async Runtime For Rust with Carl Lerche of Tokio | Heavybit On episode 6 of High Leverage, Joe Ruscio speaks with Carl Lerche of Tokio about building high-performance systems in Rust.

I went on a podcast to talk about Rust, async programming, and Tokio. Happy to answer any questions or you can just tell me I'm wrong.
