JetBrains IDE RustRover Officially Released with Free Non-Commercial License
Eight months after announcing its public preview, JetBrains has officially released RustRover, a dedicated IDE for Rust development. The new release brings many bug fixes and introduces a new licensing model that includes a free plan for non-commercial use.
Rust 1.80 Adds Support for Lazy Statics, Extends Ranges in Patterns, and More
Rust 1.80 stabilizes LazyCell and LazyLock, two new types that can be used to delay initialization of data until the first time they are accessed. It also brings support for exclusive ranges as well as a couple of related lint warnings. Additionally, it allows variadic functions without a named parameter for compatibility with C23, stabilizes many APIs, and more.
Safe C++ is A new Proposal to Make C++ Memory-Safe
The goal of the Safe C++ proposal is extending C++ by defining a superset of the language that can be used to write code with the strong safety guarantees similarly to code written in Rust. The key to its approach is introducing a new safe context where only a rigorously safe subset of C++ is allowed.
The Linux Kernel to Support Real-time Scheduling Out-of-the-Box
Linux 6.12 will officially include support for real-time processing in its mainline thanks to a PR that enables PREEMPT_RT on all supported architectures. While aimed at applications requiring deterministic time guarantees, like avionics, robotics, automotive, and communications, it could bring improvements to user experience on the desktop, too.
