Medium·3yC# vs Rust vs Go. A performance benchmarking in Kubernetes
A performance benchmarking article comparing the performance of Rust, C#, and Go in creating high-performance web APIs and deploying them to a Kubernetes cluster. The article also discusses how to monitor the resource usage of these APIs with performance monitoring tools.
Bits and Pieces·3yHow To Build Desktop Apps Using React: A Quick Introduction to Tauri
Learn how to build desktop apps using React with Tauri, an alternative to Electron. Tauri allows you to use web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to create native applications. The tutorial covers setting up a project, building a To-Do app with sentiment analysis, adding native features using Rust, and packaging the app for distribution.
Read Rust·3yWhy is building a UI in Rust so hard?
Building a UI in Rust is challenging due to the language's unique memory management and lack of inheritance. Rust's ownership model and mutability rules make it difficult to share data across a component tree. However, there are different approaches like functional UI and Entity-Component-System architecture that can be used to overcome these challenges.
GitHub Blog·3yThe technology behind GitHub’s new code search
GitHub built their own search engine, called Blackbird, for code search due to poor user experience and scalability issues with existing solutions. Searching code is different from general text search and requires unique features and capabilities. GitHub's code search system handles over 45 million repositories, 115 TB of code, and 15.5 billion documents.

Changelog·3yGrant Handy
This post explores the ray casting algorithm used in first-person games and provides a step-by-step guide on how to implement it in your own game using Rust. It explains how ray casting works by tracing a path from the player to the closest wall in each column of their view, and then converting the distance to the height of a wall. The post also covers aspects such as implementing player movement, fixing perspective issues, adding depth with shadows, and optimizing code size.
Better Programming·3yA Little Bit of Rust
The post explores a problem and its solution presented by Donald Knuth in the 80s, along with an alternative solution provided by Doug McIlroy. It discusses the shortcomings of the original solution and proposes improvements to optimize the algorithm. The post also provides the code in Rust to solve the problem efficiently.
Surma·3yRust to WebAssembly the hard way — surma.dev
In Rust, the tool that makes WebAssembly easy is called wasm-bindgen, and we are going to ditch it! At the same time, Rust is a bit different in that WebAssembly has been a first-class target for a long time and the standard library is laid out to support it out of the box.
