An intro to RustConf 2025 from your host, the Rust Foundation!

Microsoft’s journey with Rust reflects a commitment to building safer and more efficient software. In this keynote, we’ll explore how Microsoft is driving change by adopting Rust across key products and platforms. From security improvements to integration challenges, we’ll share insights, lessons learned, and what’s next as Microsoft continues to evolve with Rust.

This talk showcases why Rust is an ideal choice for accelerated computing and AI development. It dives into the design of Burn and CubeCL, demonstrating how Rust’s robust type system and ownership model enable flexible, high-performance, and portable solutions for cutting-edge AI applications.

This talk will compare and contrast some of the interesting differences in the approaches taken in Rust and what we’re exploring in the Carbon Language experiment. Carbon was created to find out what a maximally incremental path to evolve and migrate off of C++ and onto a programming language with memory safety might look like, and whether it would be an effective way to bring memory safety to the largest-scale and most-brownfield of C++ software ecosystems.

A kickoff to Day 2 of RustConf with your emcee.

Rust is spreading. In this talk, you’ll learn how one team used Rust at every layer: a fast command-line core, a desktop UI, and native components integrated into a non-Rust backend. This talk is about where Rust fits, where it struggles, and how it can work alongside other tools instead of trying to replace them.

This talk shows how the Rust Infrastructure team decreased significantly the cost of the Rust CI, the challenges along the way, and our plan to make the CI more sustainable and maintainable in the future.

Redox OS was created in 2015, before the 1.0 release of Rust. Through these ten years, both have had incredible growth. This talk will explore the history of Redox OS and the Rust ecosystem, where it stands today, and where it will go in the future.
