This is fantastic. I've been doing more Rust hacking at home and I genuinely think that this next decade will be just gangbusters for Rust; its gotten a lot of early adoption, and the next wave is going to be wild. one of these days I'll work at a Rust shop, and I am hyped for that possibility. it'll be NICE.

  Who is going to pay $75/mo for a vacuum when they can get a shark robot vacuum for a one time payment of $500? It sounds like the Juicero of floor cleaning. Apparently VC's haven't learned their lesson yet.

    You’ve obviously never owned a dirt ingesting shark robot vacuum. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans who’ll pay $75/mo for unlimited repairs and maintenance and never having to worry about if the toddler takes the vacuum cleaner for a tumble down the stairs.

      I'm on my second roomba in well over a decade. I don't remember what happened to the first one, I think I gave it away in a move, but it didn't break. I don't know anything about the shark brand but I've never really thought twice about repair problems with roomba or heard about issues from friends. Obviously a small sample size, but this is something I don't get as a subscription. That said, Matician's vision mapping looks really cool.

    I'm going to echo you, $75/mo for a better Roomba imo is wild. I am very impressed by the custom SLAM and the privacy focused, but it's a reoccurring subscription I couldn't justify. Curious who their target demographics are.

    I haven't looked deep into that offer, but I spent some time thinking about other appliances and switching from ownership to renting. Ecological it's quite interesting: Currently people run inefficient appliances which are decades old till they fall apart and the appliance can't be recycled. If we would transition to a model where they are rented "all inclusive" the vendor might have a very different motivation to make sure people got a modern device and it's built in a way that as many parts as possible can be reused. 75/month seems high for vacuum though.

    The first additional language support for Linux Kernel was Rust on top of C. Microsoft is rewriting their core kernel parts in Rust. Asahi Linux drivers are written in Rust. All new critical performance stuff in Cloudflare is written in Rust. List goes on… Edit: Many instead of all new from Cloudflare..

      All new critical performance stuff in Cloudflare is written in Rust. That's an exaggeration. Yes, we use Rust a lot and in performance critical areas but it's definitely not "all new critical performance stuff".

        What other language or languages do you use at Cloudflare for new performance critical stuff?

        Cloudflare Workers is C++. I would assume that a lot of the related things (KV, Durable Objects, etc) too. https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd

        Workers KV is actually largely implemented as a Worker, in TypeScript. :) Think of `workerd` as the "kernel" of our "cloud operating system". We try to avoid putting things in the kernel if we can. Features like Workers KV, R2, Queues, D1, etc. are generally built as "userspace" services, that is, they run as Workers. Durable Objects is a bit special, it's inherently something that needs to be in the core runtime, and which many of these other services build on top of. FWIW, if I were starting over I'd probably write the runtime in Rust, but it wasn't quite ready yet when we started six years ago. (I'm the tech lead for Workers.)
