This September in Rust

Events Zelda Took Note Of

• RustConf 2018 - Go watch it on Youtube
• Rust 2018 is in stable now. It encompasses many features you’ve already been using plus some cool new ones
• NLL fixes and improvements. This code doesn’t compile in Rust 2015 but does compile in Rust 2018
• RLS (Rust Language Server) has reached 1.0: It’s not complete but it’s good enough for most everyone to start using if they aren’t already
• Rustfmt will be stabilized “soon”. This is contentious because it occasionally breaks things
  • Alex Crichton compiled Rustfmt to wasm and has a running demo
• Pinning API
• Experimental Use of smallvec in the standard library
• 1.29 brings cargo fix and cargo clippy
• Iterator::flatten is now stable
• Fixed security vulnerability in the standard library due to str::repeat
• Rustdoc will now show docs for trait implementors
• Webrender is running on nightly Firefox for Windows 10 users with Nvidia cards
