Koi Research has uncovered a new wave of the GlassWorm campaign that replaces the old Unicode‑based payload with native Rust binaries, targeting both OpenVSX and Microsoft’s official VS Code marketplace. The shift to compiled code makes detection harder and signals a new level of sophistication in supply‑chain attacks.

A new programming language called Rue positions itself as a middle ground between Rust and Go, featuring memory safety without garbage collection or manual management. With direct native compilation and familiar syntax, Rue aims for developer accessibility while tackling system-level challenges.

Developer Justin Woodring shares his journey building Slatron—a distributed digital signage system—using Rust to overcome past failures. The project showcases advanced techniques including cross-compilation, embedded UIs, and a Rhai scripting engine that transforms static displays into programmable platforms.

After dominating Stack Overflow's 'Most Loved' rankings for a decade, Rust's fiercely loyal user base reveals what fuels their devotion. Beyond raw performance, developers credit Rust's unique blend of reliability, tooling, and ecosystem for empowering them to conquer new technical domains with unprecedented confidence.

PyOxy introduces a radical method for Python distribution by embedding all runtime components within a single executable, eliminating dependency on temporary files or virtual filesystems. Built with Rust and leveraging PyOxidizer components, it grants developers unprecedented control over Python interpreter execution. This innovation could streamline deployment workflows and transform how Python applications are packaged.

Core Python developers Emma Smith and Kirill Podoprigora have proposed incorporating Rust into CPython to boost memory safety and performance, starting with optional standard library modules like base64. Amid community debates on timelines, portability, and build complexity, the plan has been scaled back for a gradual rollout, reflecting Python's cautious evolution. This move could revitalize contributions while addressing long-standing C-related challenges in the interpreter.
