Tokio and Prctl = Nasty Bug
Recently I encountered a bug so cute that I immediately knew that I will want to share it on my blog. It was one of those bugs that even Rust can’t save you from. It occurred in HyperQueue (HQ), a distributed task scheduler written in Rust that I work on.

Writing memory efficient C structs
A struct in C is the best way to organize your data so that you can easily use the data later in your program. However, there are a few caveats to C structures, mainly how their memory works. Note that I’m making a lot of assumptions about type sizes and standards. These can differ between systems and ABI’s, so for…

Great things about Rust that aren't just performance
Nearly every line of code I write for fun is in Rust. It's not because I need great performance, though that's a nice benefit. I write a lot of Rust because it's a joy to write code in. There is so much else to love about Rust beyond going fast without segfaults.

Weird Expressions in Rust
Rust has a very powerful type system, but as a result it has some quirks, some would say cursed expressions. There’s a test file, weird-expr.rs , in the rust repository that tests for some of these and makes sure there consistent between updates. So I wanted to go over each of these and explain how it’s valid rust.
