One more #rustlang post! This time on niches using pattern types on nightly https://deterministic.space/niche-int-types-in-rust.html

Spent some time writing about the latest #rust #bioinformatics crate I’ve been working on: seqair, an alternative to (a subset of) htslib with some neat APIs and memory patterns!
If you work in the field: expect a crates.io release soon! If you like software architecture rambles, hope you enjoy the post!

Sadly, I can’t make it to @rustnl@fosstodon.org #RustWeek next week — but I have a ticket and a hotel! If anyone is interested, dm me!

In case anyone else needs to hear it: `Vec::with_capacity(user_input)` is probably a bad idea and will eat your RAM when you least expect it. At least put a `.min(reasonable_max)` on it. #rustlang

This is what I've been working on for a while now: https://deterministic.space/rastair.html

(Finally got around to blogging again!)

Feels good to be working on a Rust tool where optimizing it actually makes a difference. Last week, I was working on one of the fastest tools in its category. Then I got tricked into optimizing it, made Claude write some compute shaders for me, got rid of more `memmove`s, and now I think I can run on laptop in 10min what last week ran for 2.5h on a server with 16 cores! #rustlang

Second post about Seqair, my #rustlang take on htslib. This one is about streaming VCF/BCF writing and type-state/session type APIs! #bioinformatics

At #EuroRust and picking the talks about stuff I would never look into otherwise :) cosmic was interesting and now learning about Petri nets

RE: @rastair@genomic.social

Extremely proud to work on this! Challenging and fun

Anyone following me going to @Rustnationuk@hachyderm.io ? Haven’t been in London a while, haven’t been to a conference in a while :)
