Adding LLVM control flow integrity to make exploits harder is coming to Rust: https://rcvalle.com/docs/rust-cfi-design-doc.pdf The primary use case is mixing C/C++ with Rust: you have weaker memory safety guarantees and hardening is still necessary. You don't want a partial Rust port to reduce security!

Designing effective delivery robots seems to require making them really cute: https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Kiwibots-win-fans-at-UC-Berkeley-as-they-deliver-13895867.php Mixing ML with human driver supervision is an interesting design too.

Develop in Pharo, deploy in Seaside: https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/pharoproject/yesplan-10-years-later Interesting to see commercial web projects written in Smalltalk! Their JS stack sounds like it's evolved with framework conventions. (Mentions the excellent GT debugger. Maybe their use case is like mixing clang&gcc?)
