OpenLEADR development is ramping up again with a new Rust implementation of OpenADR 3.0 becoming part of the OpenLEADR project.
Will Rust still exist, and have proper support, 10, 20 or even 30 years from now? We’ve been asked this question multiple times in the last year. It is a fair question, as adopting any new technology requires an investment and comes with uncertainties, one of them being the durability of the technology. This article explains why we expect Rust to stand the test of time.
Our tagline reads “Software must become safer”, and for good reason; We feel very strongly about this. But it does lead to the obvious and fair question: “What exactly do you do to ensure that the software your teams produce is safe and secure?”
One of the hot topics in software security is memory safety. This article covers two questions: What is it? And why do we think it is worth investing in?
In April 2023 Wouter (left in picture) and I and went to Paris to attend CYSAT, a conference about cyber security for the space industry.

Wouter and Chris (and also Dion) had been working together for months and teamed up to explain to the audience how and why they were putting Rust in space.
NLR, Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre, invited embedded lead Dion to explain the benefits of programming in Rust to the company.

Pioneering Rust in the high-tech industry!

Together with High Tech Software Cluster, we organized an event to showcase Rust’s strengths and safety features to tech companies in the Brainport region in the Netherlands.
