ntpd-rs: NTP for the modern era by Folkert de Vries RustNL 2023, Amsterdam, May 10 2023, https://2023.rustnl.org/ Time synchronization is a crucial but often overlooked component of the internet. In this talk you will learn how time synchronization works, and how our Rust implementation of the network time protocol keeps the internet in sync.

Stabilizing decade-old features

RustWeek 30:38 2066 views

Stabilizing decade-old features by Folkert de Vries. `error[E0658]: ᐸthe thing you needᐳ is unstable`, now what? This talk is about me deciding that I would stabilize some features that have been unstable for the better part of a decade. ...and then having to figure out how to actually do that. Along the way I got to know the rust compiler code base, its customs, and, perhaps most importantly, its people. Follow along and learn how to make contributions to the rust compiler that go beyond a one-off PR. About Folkert de Vries (he/him): At the Trifecta Tech Foundation I maintain zlib-rs and bzip2-rs. I am a co-maintainer of rust-lang/stdarch, and contribute to rustc and sometimes LLVM. When not behind a computer, I might be reading a book, learning a germanic language (try me!), or digging up a plant. - git: https://github.com/folkertdev - mastodon/fedi: https://hachyderm.io/@folkertdev This talk was given at RustWeek 2026 as part of the Compiler track on Tuesday 19 May.

Data compression is used when loading almost anything on the web. This talk is about the implementation of zlib-rs. We'll explore how compression works, how to convert a C project to rust, maintain its performance, and foster adoption.
