Default musl allocator considered harmful (to performance)
In a real world benchmark, the default musl allocator caused a 7x slowdown compared to other allocators. I recommend all Rust projects immediately swap to a different allocator in a musl environment.

Pointers Are Complicated, or: What's in a Byte?
This summer, I am again working on Rust full-time, and again I will work (amongst other things) on a “memory model” for Rust/MIR. However, before I can talk about the ideas I have for this ...
400 - Dealing with cancel safety in async Rust | RFD | Oxide
While developing the control plane, we’ve found that one of the bigger practical issues has been async cancel correctness: the relatively unpredictable way an async Rust system can behave if futures are dropped [rfd397]. Cancellation is an example of "spooky action at a distance", and having to think about it imposes a significant cognitive burden on authors and reviewers of asynchronous code. Both of these are quite uncharacteristic of Rust.

Exploring ways to make async Rust easier
Asynchronous Rust is powerful but has a reputation for being hard to learn. There have been various ideas on how to fix the trickiest aspects, though with my focus being on Tokio 1.0, I had not been able to dedicate much focus to those topics. However, Niko’s async vision effort has recently started the discussion again, so I thought I would take some time to participate. In this article, I collect some previously proposed ideas and offer some new ones, tying them together to explore what could be.
