Almost three years ago, sudo-rs was announced to the world. Just last week, it became the default sudo utility in the Ubuntu LTS release Resolute Raccoon. Now is a good time to reflect: trifectatech.org/blog/three-y... #rustlang

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/

Fun fact: Just for RustWeek, the internet infrastructure in the venue gets a big temporary upgrade with extra wifi access points that get installed in the restaurant and the cinema rooms, because y'all bring more than 1 device on average and use a lot more bandwidth than the average cinema visitor.

Did you know that RustWeek 2026 is held in one of the largest cinema's of the Netherlands? This means: extremely comfortable seats, great air conditioning, perfect audio, and a very big screen: over 280m², the 2nd largest in the country! ✨ Don't forget to buy your tickets! 2026.rustweek.org

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉
