Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • tock

    A secure embedded operating system for microcontrollers

  • Novel feature: Extend an existing Rust OS project, like Tock, in some meaningful and quantifiable way.

  • Rudra

    Rust Memory Safety & Undefined Behavior Detection

  • In my opinion, much of Rust-specific PhD research likely to be publishable and/or high impact either falls into verification (e.g Prusti, Cruesot) or bug-finding (e.g. Rudra, SyRust). Ralf Jung and his collaborators have done exceptional work in the verification space.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nebulet

    Discontinued (Going to be) A microkernel that implements a WebAssembly "usermode" that runs in Ring 0.

  • This has been tried, though I'm not aware of any under active development currently: https://github.com/nebulet/nebulet

  • noria

    Fast web applications through dynamic, partially-stateful dataflow
