Jack Forsberg fills in for Phil, who’s off teaching and inappropriately desecrating Matt Kenney’s photo at Marc Adam’s. We talk views of trees from trains, RustFest and metal scraping, call cigar boxes cigarette boxes and tell tales of mythical woodworking creatures of the Pacific Northwest.

We chat about the 1.26.1 release, RustFest videos, Rust reach, RustRush 2018, and a bit of behind the scenes look at running Rust.

Jack, Anna and Fredrik talk about their experience at RustFest 2017 in Zürich. Parity Technologies was one of the main sponsors and so we went there with a crew and had a booth. Many interesting conversations were had, along with great talks.
