The Anatomy of Error Messages in Rust
How are Rust’s best-in-class error messages constructed? To figure that out, we’ll be digging through parts of rustc to uncover tidbits of this process. We’ll also take a high-level look at how some other programming languages construct error mess...

Rust for Safer Protocol Development
The Rust philosophy is to use the type system to catch program design flaws at compile time. We aim to do the same for network protocols: we generate a typed model of protocol data, from which we can automatically generate protocol parsers in Rust...

Everything is serialization
Let's peek under the hood of serialization formats and see how properties inherent to the data representations themselves will either help or hinder us for a given problem. Learn what to consider when writing your own formats by looking inside ...

RFC: Secret types in Rust
Using empty asm!() directives and empty functions, this talk will show how we can circumvent LLVM's optimizations, and make our binaries secure again. However, these tricks are ugly and unsupported on the stable channel. We need something bigger t...
