  • Exceptional

    Very informative if you’re interested in learning about different use cases for Rust. Highly recommend. The content is well produced, and the guests cover a broad range of applications, but the real value is the inspiration you’ll gain from the varied perspectives.

  • Absolutely amazing podcast

    “Rust in Production” has been the podcast to listen to, for my regular drive back home after work, for past one year or so. It has been super engaging and enjoyable. (I and my team use C/C++ at work). Learning about Rust, has been one of the most intellectually pleasing experience, and this podcast has amplified my interest manyfold! Thank you!!

  • Love the podcast!

    In 2024 we decided to use RUST in our project for a component. I was sold from the first. I'm not doing development in this team; im leading the team and do devops. Even so, I did some Rust debugging. I found this podcast and i love it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rust Foundation with Bec Rumbul, Lori Lorusso, and David Wood
Q: How does the Foundation balance governance between the project and external members?
The Foundation provides governance and support, but the language design decisions remain with the Rust Project members; the Foundation enables collaboration without dictating the RFCs or features.
Rust Foundation with Bec Rumbul, Lori Lorusso, and David Wood
Q: Why should a production user care about the Rust Foundation?
Because the Foundation maintains essential infrastructure, supports the language's growth, and acts as a neutral, collaborative hub that enables safe, sustainable production use by providing funding, governance, and community networks.
Veo with Anders Hellerup Madsen and Gorm Casper
Q: Where do you strike the balance between pragmatism and idiomatic Rust?
They emphasize clear API boundaries, explicit enums over optional flags, and creating strong domain types to reduce ambiguity, even if it means more boilerplate, to improve maintainability and clarity across teams.
Veo with Anders Hellerup Madsen and Gorm Casper
Q: Were you able to mechanically convert OCaml to Rust, or did you have to change the semantics?
They started with a near one-to-one translation focusing on unit tests and coordinate transformations, then gradually migrated business logic, preserving semantics while improving safety and maintainability.
Veo with Anders Hellerup Madsen and Gorm Casper
Q: What does Veo do?
Veo makes equipment to record and analyze sports matches, starting with football but expanding to multiple sports, including AI-assisted features and a social platform for sharing recordings and highlights.
