A job posting by a Microsoft engineer sparked excitement about a project “to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030”, replacing it with Rust — but alas for fans of the memory-safe programming language, it turns out this is a personal goal, not a corporate one, and Rust isn’t necessarily even

For a company built on intellectual property, scale creates a familiar tension. Disney needs to produce and distribute content across many formats and audiences, while keeping tight control over rights, safety, and brand consistency. Generative AI promises speed and flexibility, but unmanaged use risks creating legal, creative, and operational drag. Disney’s agreement with OpenAI shows

A recent industry report argues that Britain’s railway network could carry an extra billion journeys by the mid-2030s, building on the 1.6 billion passenger rail journeys recorded to year-end March 2024. The next decade will involve a combination of complexity and control, as more digital systems, data, and interconnected suppliers create the potential for

Theia, a technology company that turns ordinary video into full‑body motion analysis used by athletes and researchers worldwide, has just launched a new bat tracking module designed to capture the full baseball swing, including bat trajectory and body biomechanics, using video alone. The release marks a step forward for performance staff and researchers seeking detailed

Market moving from “looks cool” to “it’s in the budget” as demand for AI-powered communications accelerates. Swedish businesses have moved decisively from AI curiosity to implementation throughout 2025, with AI now representing 20% of new sales at Dstny Sweden, expected to reach 30% in 2026. “Early this year, customers said ‘looks nice, could consider it.’ Now

Security researchers have uncovered a malicious npm package that poses as a legitimate WhatsApp Web API library while quietly stealing messages, credentials, and contact data from developer environments. The package, identified as “lotusbail,” operates as a trojanized wrapper around a genuine WhatsApp client library and had accumulated more than 50k downloads by the time it

To help the Rust language continue scaling across domains and usage levels, the Rust Vision Doc group recommends enumerating the design goals for evolving the language while also improving the crates package system. These suggestions were made in a December 19 blog post titled, “What do people love about Rust?” The group made the following

Deno 2.6, the latest version of the TypeScript, JavaScript, and WebAssembly runtime, adds a tool, called dx, to run binaries from NPM and JSR (JavaScript Registry) packages. The update to the Node.js rival was announced December 10; installation instructions can be found at docs.deno.com. Current users can upgrade by running the deno upgrade command in

JITing, or “just-in-time” compilation, can make relatively slow interpreted languages much faster. Until recently, JITting was available for Python only in the form of specialized third-party libraries, like Numba, or alternate versions of the Python interpreter, like PyPy. A native JIT compiler has been added to Python over its last few releases. At first it

The command line has always been the bedrock of the developer’s world. Since time immemorial, the CLI was a static place defined by the REPL (read-evaluate-print-loop). But now modern AI tools are changing that. The CLI tells you in spartan terms what is happening with your program, and it does exactly what you tell it
