    Nick Cameron on Juggling Open Source Work and Parenthood

    Nick Cameron sat down to chat with us about his Rust journey, including his experiences working as a member of the Rust core team back in the language's pre-1.0 days. He left the core team and open source contributor-ship in 2019 due to his growing family, but has since returned to full-time open source work; he spends most of his time now consolidating the different pillars that make up Rust's async ecosystem. Through it all, he has learned how to effectively juggle open source work with his priorities as a parent and family man.  Nick's website is https://ncameron.org. You can follow him on Twitter @nick_r_cameron.

    Josh Triplett on Building the Build System of his Dreams

    We sat down with Josh Triplett, co-lead of the Rust Language team, to chat about his journey into Rust contributorship and what considerations he makes when iterating on a language as widely-used as Rust. We also discuss Josh's ideal build system, as well as what changes he thinks the Rust language and community need to make in order for Rust to stay relevant well into the future. If you're interested in finding out more about the build system Josh is building, head on over to https://buildit.dev. The Lang team's decision-making process is documented over at https://lang-team.rust-lang.org/decision_process.html. Josh's homepage is located at https://joshtriplett.org.

    Ralf Jung on GhostCell and Working as a PL Researcher

    We sat down with Ralf Jung who is, at the time of this recording, a post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS). Ralf is part of the RustBelt project, which seeks to define and develop rigorous formal foundations for the Rust programming language.  We talked with Ralf about GhostCell, a technique for separating permissions from data in Rust that opens up possibilities and alternative strategies when it comes to working around Rust's "aliasing XOR mutability" rules, why there seems to be such a large gap between academic programming languages and "mainstream" programming languages, as well as what makes for a good PL researcher.  Ralf blogs about Rust, and other topics, at https://www.ralfj.de/blog/.  matthieu-m's Ghost Collections crate is referenced during the show and can be found at https://github.com/matthieu-m/ghost-collections.
