Using type aliases and creating custom type wrappers for more expressive and safer code.

Growing Rust's diversity to help Rust grow.

An accessible, well-designed web framework in Rust!

Smoothing the Rust dev story: future work on the RLS, in Rust itself, and in Servo.

Making Rust Better: Rust as the fusion of systems and high-level programming languages, and the RLS.

Background, TypeScript, coming to Rust, and how helpful the Rust community can be.

Where the RLS came from, what it can do, and how you can start using it today!

How do we organize code in Rust? Where do we break it apart into modules or crates, and why? Structuring code in a language like Rust can seem a bit more ambiguous than doing the same in a language with classes to attach all our functionality to, but in practice, the concerns are much the same: modules are namespaces, and we group by *responsibility*. In today's episode, I talk through that philosophy (and give some comparisons to other languages), and then look at what it looks like in practice!

On the responsibilities and opportunities we have to help others with our knowledge and abilities. Many of us have been very blessed with opportunities and support as we learn software. We should go out of our way to share with others in kind. Today, my focus is on teaching, but there are lots of ways to "give back." And I'd love to hear *your* thoughts and things *you're* doing in that vein!

The final pieces of the story for (single-threaded) memory management in Rust. Notes ----- Sometimes, we actually do need to copy types. Wouldn't it be nice if Rust gave us a convenient way to do that when it's convenient, or when the cost is low enough that the ergonomic tradeoffs are worth it? Well, perhaps unsurprisingly, it does! The Copy and Clone traits, plus the Cow type, give us everything we need!
