While we’ve long done the usual (e.g., testing, documentation, abstraction, miri) and unusual (e.g., proofs, formal verification) to prove to ourselves and our users that we’ve kept our promise of safety, we’ve kept our other promise of efficiency with a less convincing combination of… ## [Data Knot – Machine Learning tools for low latency real-time performance](https://rodrigoconstanzo.com/2025/10/data-knot-machine-learning-tools-for-low-latency-real-time-performance/) _2025-10-16 · Rodrigo · Rodrigo Constanzo_ I am excited to finally release Data Knot, a package for Max based on FluCoMa.

On the Rust subreddit, I often see beginners get tripped up on unsafe , posing questions like “What can I do in unsafe ?” and “When do I need unsafe ?” . These are useful questions — but not enough to really understand (un)safety. The former defies a simple, evergreen answer — as Rust’s operational semantics are refined, so too… ## [Undroppable Types](https://jack.wrenn.fyi/blog/undroppable/) _2024-11-25 · Unknown · (untitled)_ In Rust, ManuallyDrop is the tool of choice for eliding the destructor of a value. Wrapped in ManuallyDrop , a value is simply forgotten when it goes out of scope. However, in some cases, it is useful to ensure that a value cannot be dropped — not because it is forgotten, but because the very act of dropping it is a compilation error. ## [Safety Goggles for Alchemists](https://jack.wrenn.fyi/blog/safety-goggles-for-alchemists/) _2024-09-30 · Unknown · (untitled)_ The Path Towards Safer Transmute Since Rust’s inception, mem::transmute has been the poster-dragon of unsafe code, but its reign of error is coming to an end! In this talk blog post, you’ll learn how Rust is poised to become the first systems programming language with transmutation safety, and how safe transmute is already being put to use to build next-gen systems.
