Designing a GUI library for Rust, and an excellent overview of the many different approaches taken in GUI frameworks:
Rust 2020: GUI and community
In response to the call for blogs about the vision for Rust for 2020, I’m going to write about GUI. I believe the time is right for a native GUI toolkit written in Rust, and that such a thing would fill a very important niche. There is a demand for performance (which, to me, includes startup time, RAM footprint, and binary size), and Rust is in the best position to deliver on that.

Some excellent safety improvements in C++26: hardening the standard library against out-of-bounds bugs, and a safer semantics for uninitialised local variables:

Excellent series on Self, both the programming model and the tool chain. I love how opening an inspector on a value (e.g. nil) then shows a link to all occurrences of the value in other open inspectors!

I bring you a message about a language that has been at the birth of many others, but almost no one knows it. A rumor of a graphical environment offering options like no other, but almost no one using it. I also bring information about a virtual machine supporting reflection almost to infinity, reaching almost half of the operating power of C in numerical calculations in its time, yet today forgotten.
