Coming from C, Python, and JavaScript, I never looked back. Two Rust-based startups and 500k lines of Rust later, here are some reflections on the milestone.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The early days were painful

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Version compatibility was poor—both between crates and with the compiler itself. A bug-fix update could force a compiler bump, which in turn dragged in unstable crates like syntex (once a key serde dependency) and their dependents. In practice we “updated the world” and temporally pinned when a critical bug fix or feature demanded it—early on this was as often as every 6-week compiler release cycle. An awful lot of time was wasted binary-searching for compatible version combinations.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “Fighting the borrow checker” was real for me. Traits came naturally given background in C++, Java and Objective-C, but lifetimes and the idea of “proofs” that (*mostly) don’t affect codegen took a while to grok. Patient friends and colleagues made this easier!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            After a couple years of our codebase and team growing, compile times became painful. Large types were a recurring issue (and still are, occasionally), requiring diagnosis and mitigation. Investments brought it down for us, but iteration cycles still took a hit and rapid prototyping generally required effort to set up.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The Rust ecosystem has an impressive amount of programming “taste”, manifesting in dependencies with relatively simple builds, elegant implementations, and fast and robust performance. Reaching for TypeScript or Python is a relative exercise in frustration. There’s a reason Rust has taken the “most loved/admired language” title for nine years now!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “What went right” is an essay in itself, but the evolving cadre of dedicated, opinionated and earnest volunteers, with strong mores around saying “no” and “not yet”, are I think the crux of it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I reaped the benefits as an employer. We’ve been fortunate to be one of few Rust opportunities in London, with a pipeline of talented engineers keen to work in their favourite language. That your average Rust programmer is better than your average <most other languages> programmer has been a bonus.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust has become a safe bet (in some domains)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The early days necessitated a lot of yak shaving. Omissions in std, for example, led to our evolving a library of workarounds, hacks and extensions: code that simplified or optimised our application code but wasn’t ready or wasn’t justifiable to merge upstream. Over time the rate of additions to it has slowed, and we regularly find ourselves now removing from it. Our custom implementations begone! Nowadays being able to rely upon std’s primitives having even relatively uncommon or abstract implementations, and them be well-optimised, is a joy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This reliability now extends to much of the Rust experience. Building and upgrading is wildly more predictable, with fewer non-Rust dependencies, ~no surprise compiletime/codegen/inlining blowups, less ecosystem reliance on nightly features and greater respecting of semver. Inference improvements have made the borrow checker friendlier to newcomers. And far fewer ICEs on nightly! We used to see new ICEs or link errors almost weekly, now it’s quarterly at most.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The crate ecosystem is more predictable too: newer crates like jiff, polars and tauri build on the hard-won lessons of earlier projects, while stalwarts like tokio, hyper and regex have earned robustness through years of heavy production use.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Ten years ago choosing Rust for production opted you into reinventing wheels and working around known and unknown issues. While still the case for some domains—namely Rust in the browser for us—for general systems and backend engineering that is a thing of the past. Rust empowers us to focus on business logic while producing remarkably fast and robust applications.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust today feels like what programming should be

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            More than a safe bet, Rust has a degree of programmer empathy that is unprecedented in large software projects: simple and robust builds, the best error messages and linting around, great docs and IDE integration, and strong CI and regression testing. Rust feels like a passion project, a labour of love by and for programmers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            10 years ago could we have predicted this? Well, I think some did. Pained by the status quo, some saw the potential of a language, an ecosystem, designed well by people like them. They volunteered their time and made Rust what it is. As Graydon Hoare, one of Rust’s original authors, puts it:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust today is the result of significant investments made by forward-looking institutions and the efforts of thousands of individuals who shared a belief in the long-term payoff of what they were building.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I bet my time and (my investors’) money on Rust 10 years ago because I believed in this payoff. The enthusiasm was infections, the potential palpable, and smart minds were converging. I’m so glad that has only grown, and so grateful to everyone who’s contributed to it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            What I’m looking forward to over the next 10 years

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Simpler and faster builds

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            With growing engineering and testing bandwidth we can continue to replace battle-tested but complex or slow dependencies with simpler and faster ones. I’ve directly or indirectly benefitted from this with linking, locks, backtraces, platform-optimised routines, TLS, HTTP, git, compression, building and switching toolchains, and build automation. A few I’m particularly looking forward to gaining more attention are a pure-Rust and less special std, reduced reliance on system linkers and libs, pure-Rust crypto, a durable BTreeMap, and a Rust game engine. The latter not for me to use but because game devs bring some of the most aggressive optimisation I’ve seen and I’d love to benefit from it.

In the last few months Tably saw a 60% compile time improvement across frontend and backend. Many of the biggest wins have come from meta changes that aren’t visible on this chart, including ThinLTO and backend parallelism, incremental, metadata pipelining, front-end parallelism. Meta changes that might bear further fruit are: Rust-oriented codegen, incremental linkers, dead-code elimination, a new solver, and cargo test caching results.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Improved portability and less #[cfg()]

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Testing the power set of valid #[cfg()] options, targets and features on CI is generally prohibitive. This creates untested code paths and potential compile failures, alongside annoyances like fragmented and incomplete documentation, impaired IDE functionality and unused_imports warnings.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            A lint was proposed to mitigate this. A mooted better approach is moving #[cfg()] into the trait system (cc) with bounds like where Platform: Unix and where Platform: Avx2. With this the compiler naturally guarantees compilation under all supported options, targets and features. Specializing items with OS-specific or architecture-specific implementations can be done via, appropriately, specialization. Metadata can be shared between dev/test/release, different feature combination and different platform builds, resulting in less recompilation, faster CI, and bringing a crates.io MIR cache closer to reality.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Everything being const

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Constant evaluation reduces dependence on macros and build scripts, and brings forward run-time work and panics to compile-time. Currently we only scratch the surface of this as only a small subset of Rust code is supported (no traits, no allocation), and that which is supported runs too slowly for nontrivial use cases.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Assuming portability all code can be evaluated during compilation (cc). Unportable code like FFI or assembly without a generic fallback is getting less common. Various effects-inspired attempts to enable ubiquitous const have been made and reverted and attempted again. I hope we dodge this extra language complexity with the simple assumption that “everything can be executed in a const context”. There are tricky issues to overcome but the language simplicity will be worth it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Simpler concurrency

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            async has a relatively high complexity cost for us due to the 'static bound (cc), cancellation-safety, and restrictions relating to traits and dyn. These currently seem insoluble. Bifurcation between sync and async primitives and ecosystem idiosyncrasies further increase the async tax. Effects-inspired solutions seem unpromising.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Pre-1.0 Rust had a solution: libgreen. It achieved concurrency in user-space without this bifurcation, but at significant performance, portability and maintenance cost and so was removed. With increased engineering bandwidth this may be worth revisiting. Again the language simplicity would be worth it. (One day I’ll create a PoC of zero-cost wrapping of std::{fs, net} plus fiber::{spawn, select} using generator!)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Excelling in more domains

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust in the browser feels under-explored: we bump into issues that suggest there aren’t many others using it seriously. Table stakes like avoiding UB and getting stack traces cross-browser took our time and effort. leptos—the web framework behind this site—has come a long way (much like our previous choice sycamore), yet rough edges remain.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Some domains like rapid prototyping and business logic may remain outside of Rust’s reach due to deliberate design decisions that trade off iteration speed. For most domains though I think it’s a matter of time. Adoption hurdles remain for GUIs, machine learning, and game development due to entrenched ecosystems, high switching costs, cultural inertia, and established tooling. But those barriers aren’t permanent. Rust continues to mature and steadily break into these domains, thanks to relentless community efforts and innovation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Conclusion

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Looking forward the trajectory is clear and exciting. The positive feedback loop of adoption boosting engineering and testing bandwidth, which then fuels further adoption, is accelerating. The upcoming decade promises further refinement, faster compile times, broader domain adoption, and an increasingly seamless developer experience. At Tably, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Rust, excited to witness—and contribute to—the language’s next chapter. Here’s to another 10 years of betting on Rust!


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            10 years of betting on Rust and what I’m looking forward to next.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I wrote my first line of Rust in June 2015, a month after the buzz of Rust 1.0 landing. Coming from C, Python, and JavaScript, I never looked back. Two Rust-based startups and 500k lines of Rust later, here are some reflections on the milestone.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The early days were painful

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Version compatibility was poor—both between crates and with the compiler itself. A bug-fix update could force a compiler bump, which in turn dragged in unstable crates like syntex (once a key serde dependency) and their dependents. In practice we “updated the world” and temporally pinned when a critical bug fix or feature demanded it—early on this was as often as every 6-week compiler release cycle. An awful lot of time was wasted binary-searching for compatible version combinations.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “Fighting the borrow checker” was real for me. Traits came naturally given background in C++, Java and Objective-C, but lifetimes and the idea of “proofs” that (*mostly) don’t affect codegen took a while to grok. Patient friends and colleagues made this easier!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            After a couple years of our codebase and team growing, compile times became painful. Large types were a recurring issue (and still are, occasionally), requiring diagnosis and mitigation. Investments brought it down for us, but iteration cycles still took a hit and rapid prototyping generally required effort to set up.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The people were and are exceptional

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The Rust ecosystem has an impressive amount of programming “taste”, manifesting in dependencies with relatively simple builds, elegant implementations, and fast and robust performance. Reaching for TypeScript or Python is a relative exercise in frustration. There’s a reason Rust has taken the “most loved/admired language” title for nine years now!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “What went right” is an essay in itself, but the evolving cadre of dedicated, opinionated and earnest volunteers, with strong mores around saying “no” and “not yet”, are I think the crux of it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I reaped the benefits as an employer. We’ve been fortunate to be one of few Rust opportunities in London, with a pipeline of talented engineers keen to work in their favourite language. That your average Rust programmer is better than your average <most other languages> programmer has been a bonus.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust has become a safe bet (in some domains)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The early days necessitated a lot of yak shaving. Omissions in std, for example, led to our evolving a library of workarounds, hacks and extensions: code that simplified or optimised our application code but wasn’t ready or wasn’t justifiable to merge upstream. Over time the rate of additions to it has slowed, and we regularly find ourselves now removing from it. Our custom implementations begone! Nowadays being able to rely upon std’s primitives having even relatively uncommon or abstract implementations, and them be well-optimised, is a joy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This reliability now extends to much of the Rust experience. Building and upgrading is wildly more predictable, with fewer non-Rust dependencies, ~no surprise compiletime/codegen/inlining blowups, less ecosystem reliance on nightly features and greater respecting of semver. Inference improvements have made the borrow checker friendlier to newcomers. And far fewer ICEs on nightly! We used to see new ICEs or link errors almost weekly, now it’s quarterly at most.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The crate ecosystem is more predictable too: newer crates like jiff, polars and tauri build on the hard-won lessons of earlier projects, while stalwarts like tokio, hyper and regex have earned robustness through years of heavy production use.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Ten years ago choosing Rust for production opted you into reinventing wheels and working around known and unknown issues. While still the case for some domains—namely Rust in the browser for us—for general systems and backend engineering that is a thing of the past. Rust empowers us to focus on business logic while producing remarkably fast and robust applications.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust today feels like what programming should be

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            More than a safe bet, Rust has a degree of programmer empathy that is unprecedented in large software projects: simple and robust builds, the best error messages and linting around, great docs and IDE integration, and strong CI and regression testing. Rust feels like a passion project, a labour of love by and for programmers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            10 years ago could we have predicted this? Well, I think some did. Pained by the status quo, some saw the potential of a language, an ecosystem, designed well by people like them. They volunteered their time and made Rust what it is. As Graydon Hoare, one of Rust’s original authors, puts it:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust today is the result of significant investments made by forward-looking institutions and the efforts of thousands of individuals who shared a belief in the long-term payoff of what they were building.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I bet my time and (my investors’) money on Rust 10 years ago because I believed in this payoff. The enthusiasm was infections, the potential palpable, and smart minds were converging. I’m so glad that has only grown, and so grateful to everyone who’s contributed to it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            What I’m looking forward to over the next 10 years

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Simpler and faster builds

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            With growing engineering and testing bandwidth we can continue to replace battle-tested but complex or slow dependencies with simpler and faster ones. I’ve directly or indirectly benefitted from this with linking, locks, backtraces, platform-optimised routines, TLS, HTTP, git, compression, building and switching toolchains, and build automation. A few I’m particularly looking forward to gaining more attention are a pure-Rust and less special std, reduced reliance on system linkers and libs, pure-Rust crypto, a durable BTreeMap, and a Rust game engine. The latter not for me to use but because game devs bring some of the most aggressive optimisation I’ve seen and I’d love to benefit from it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Significant expertise and effort is going into performance work. In the last few months Tably saw a 60% compile time improvement across frontend and backend. Many of the biggest wins have come from meta changes that aren’t visible on this chart, including ThinLTO and backend parallelism, incremental, metadata pipelining, front-end parallelism. Meta changes that might bear further fruit are: Rust-oriented codegen, incremental linkers, dead-code elimination, a new solver, and cargo test caching results.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Improved portability and less #[cfg()]

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Testing the power set of valid #[cfg()] options, targets and features on CI is generally prohibitive. This creates untested code paths and potential compile failures, alongside annoyances like fragmented and incomplete documentation, impaired IDE functionality and unused_imports warnings.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            A lint was proposed to mitigate this. A mooted better approach is moving #[cfg()] into the trait system (cc) with bounds like where Platform: Unix and where Platform: Avx2. With this the compiler naturally guarantees compilation under all supported options, targets and features. Specializing items with OS-specific or architecture-specific implementations can be done via, appropriately, specialization. Metadata can be shared between dev/test/release, different feature combination and different platform builds, resulting in less recompilation, faster CI, and bringing a crates.io MIR cache closer to reality.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Everything being const

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Constant evaluation reduces dependence on macros and build scripts, and brings forward run-time work and panics to compile-time. Currently we only scratch the surface of this as only a small subset of Rust code is supported (no traits, no allocation), and that which is supported runs too slowly for nontrivial use cases.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Assuming portability all code can be evaluated during compilation (cc). Unportable code like FFI or assembly without a generic fallback is getting less common. Various effects-inspired attempts to enable ubiquitous const have been made and reverted and attempted again. I hope we dodge this extra language complexity with the simple assumption that “everything can be executed in a const context”. There are tricky issues to overcome but the language simplicity will be worth it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Simpler concurrency

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            async has a relatively high complexity cost for us due to the 'static bound (cc), cancellation-safety, and restrictions relating to traits and dyn. These currently seem insoluble. Bifurcation between sync and async primitives and ecosystem idiosyncrasies further increase the async tax. Effects-inspired solutions seem unpromising.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Pre-1.0 Rust had a solution: libgreen. It achieved concurrency in user-space without this bifurcation, but at significant performance, portability and maintenance cost and so was removed. With increased engineering bandwidth this may be worth revisiting. Again the language simplicity would be worth it. (One day I’ll create a PoC of zero-cost wrapping of std::{fs, net} plus fiber::{spawn, select} using generator!)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Rust in the browser feels under-explored: we bump into issues that suggest there aren’t many others using it seriously. Table stakes like avoiding UB and getting stack traces cross-browser took our time and effort. leptos—the web framework behind this site—has come a long way (much like our previous choice sycamore), yet rough edges remain.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Some domains like rapid prototyping and business logic may remain outside of Rust’s reach due to deliberate design decisions that trade off iteration speed. For most domains though I think it’s a matter of time. Adoption hurdles remain for GUIs, machine learning, and game development due to entrenched ecosystems, high switching costs, cultural inertia, and established tooling. But those barriers aren’t permanent. Rust continues to mature and steadily break into these domains, thanks to relentless community efforts and innovation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Looking forward the trajectory is clear and exciting. The positive feedback loop of adoption boosting engineering and testing bandwidth, which then fuels further adoption, is accelerating. The upcoming decade promises further refinement, faster compile times, broader domain adoption, and an increasingly seamless developer experience. At Tably, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Rust, excited to witness—and contribute to—the language’s next chapter. Here’s to another 10 years of betting on Rust!
