Midden is a single-binary heap dump analyzer for the JVM, written in Rust. Tested against two deliberate leaks and checked against MAT, it found both and got the sizes right, from a shell prompt rather than a workstation, and very quickly.
Xberg 1.0 has been released. Xberg is a document extraction engine, describing itself as a "document intelligence framework." It's written in Rust, with fifteen generated language bindings, and a very descriptive data model that provides a *lot* of flexibility.
Ray Myers wrote up the Bun rewrite and the fight around it. It's emotional in places, but there's real signal in it about how agentic work is sold versus how it's done, and one review technique worth stealing.
Bun was ported from Zig to Rust by an LLM and passed nearly all its tests - while shipping more than ten thousand unsafe blocks. Memory safety is the main reason you'd pick Rust. So what did the rewrite actually accomplish?
Terminal Trove mentioned Matt Hartley's `netwatch` tool as its "tool of the week:" netwatch is a network diagnostic tool for the console, and it's pretty comprehensive, showing a ton of information about network traffic in a quite reasonable, useful interface.
Miasma is a new project in Rust that creates a maze of twisty passages, all alike, for AI scrapers. It's got documentation to protect "good" scrapers, and creates nonsense for "bad" scrapers, but the problem isn't as simple as "punish AI for existing."
Two recent articles tackle JSON querying performance from opposite ends: one applies automata theory to eliminate interpretation overhead at query time, the other kills a $500K/year language-boundary tax by rewriting a JavaScript reference implementation in Go. The methodologies are different; the lesson is the same.
