Today, I was working on optimizing my travis builds to speed them up, especially in the direction of caching. Travis allows you to set cache: cargo in your .travis.yml to enable caching for rust projects and caching is cool: it avoids having to rebuild all dependencies all the time …

Finally, it was done last week, Smithay has its own website. Over the past months, I've moved my wayland-related projects to the Github Smithay Org, and after a lot of work on smithay (the crate) itself with @drakulix, we've released the 0.1 version! This is a great milestone for …

Disclaimer: This is a subjective and personal point of view. As such, please take it with the grain of salt it deserves. I just want to share it, hoping I'm not alone feeling that way. 😊 Most Rust aficionados agree on this point: Rust does have a difficult initial learning curve …

This blog post is about the new design of my wayland libs. It's not a tutorial, but rather about the design choices I made, and why I made them. I'll start with a quick recap of what wayland is, from an API & protocol point of view. If you already know …

Hi all. During the past few months, I've been working on some crates for using Wayland in Rust. Now, they have reached a step that I could call "mostly usable": not yet finished, but a good basis to start using them. So I'm writing this note to present them, and …

Yesterday, I did a presentation about my wayland crate at the rust meetup at Mozilla in Paris. Here are the slides and the project on github.

Les emprunts (borrowing) et les durées de vie (lifetime) sont deux concepts centraux de Rust. Ils peuvent parfois s'avérer difficiles d'accès, car finalement très intriqués l'un avec l'autre. Je m'en vais donc écrire ce billet, en vue d'en expliquer les tenants et les aboutissants. Résumé des bases à avoir Je …

Un des aspects absent de Rust à l'heure actuelle (1.0) mais toutefois assez demandé est l'héritage, comme on peut le trouver dans de nombreux autres langages de programmation. Il y a somme toute deux approches à l'héritage : celle qui utilise les méthodes virtuelles, et celle qui ne les utilise …
