Writing your own Rust linter

FOSDEM

This talk will show you how to write your own rust linter using the rustc_tools crate which allows you to have access to the rust compiler API. It can be quite useful if you need specific lints for a project and cannot add them to clippy. It will explain how the compiler API works and give a small example at the end showing it in action.

Introducing gtk-rs

FOSDEM

The goal of this talk is to provide an introduction to the gtk bindings in Rust through the gtk-rs organization. It'll be mainly about how we made it and how we keep making it better. Presentation of gtk-rs (before it was even an organization) Beginning: rust <-> C direct binding, no indirection, almost no safety Generation of signals through (old) macro system Old closures system to allow callbacks Short (old) code demonstration Creation of gtk-rs multi-repository easier to maintain, more difficult to release licensing issues: keeping docs in their own repository and write a tool to put it back New gtk-rs era: automatic generation GIR crate Parsing gir files and automatically generate as much as possible Presentation of the crate, how it works and the hierarchy A lot of things are simplified: doc generation, website, releases gtk-rs growth more members (semi) automatic release process a lot more of bindings (sourceview, pangocairo, webkit...) gtk-rs environment a few projects (process viewer, EDI, tools...) relm crate to easily write GTK UIs GNOME-class gstreamer-rs Future of gtk-rs async tutorials more projects more rust in GNOME libraries (librsvg already started this port)
