Let me tell you a dark story, a story of the Anti-Rust, a story about a small group of heroes venturing beyond the cozy shallows of safe Rust to fight back against the unsafe grasp of Objective-C and deliver us reliable bindings to macOS system APIs.

Unwrapping results, assertions, divide by zero: we've all seen our Rust programs panic and crash. But have you ever wondered how that happens under the hood?
Wonder no more! Over the last year I went down this rabbit hole way too deep and have returned to tell you all about Rusts most cursed feature. You will learn how panics, stack unwinding, the drop trait, and more work
K23 offers a fresh look a OS design. It is entirely written in Rust with an integrated WASM JIT compiler that tries to answer what an OS built for the 21st century could look like. We will cover the general ideas behind K23 and its inspirations. We'll go over the project progress so far, and detail a few points that are of interest to the Rust crowd: various nightly features used, custom debugging tools, and a few stories from embedded Rust development.
