RustConf 2025

RustConf 2025 was held in Seattle, Washington. Thanks to the Linux Foundation, LWN's travel sponsor, for enabling us to report on the conference. Topics discussed there included:

• Comparing Rust to Carbon: a talk from Chandler Carruth about the successor language to C++.
• Fighting human trafficking with self-contained applications: using Rust, more for its deployment advantages than for its memory safety, in applications to assist law enforcement in combating human trafficking.
• Canceling asynchronous Rust: tips and tricks to avoid accidentally canceling Rust Future values.
