Shooting Challenge: Rust
Posted in: Today's Chili
Rust. It’s the product of metal oxidation, which we interpret as everything from a ruined car to a highly sought antique patina. And for this week’s Shooting Challenge, you’ll capture the beauty (or horror) of rust.

Some objects age gracefully. Think the design of products from 1960’s era Braun. Or some of Apple’s stuff. But that’s just the design that stays timeless, the actual object gets beat up by both Father Time, Mother Nature and Careless Human. It’s going to be rare to see a mint condition iPod a hundred years from now, just like it’s rare to see something pristine from before World War I. Artist Maico Akiba imagined what our gadgets would look like a 100 years from now and boy do they take a beating. More »

Normally, one would associate the word “rust” with destruction that comes along with the passage of time, as we can see through the half-eaten hulls of sunken ships of yore. Well, Rust this time around will take on a new meaning, as it is part of Mozilla’s ambition in chasing down a new programming language that will hopefully, be the holy grail of code one fine day, and they have managed to capture the attention of the folks over at Samsung to help them out.
The Rust programming language alongside its Servo testbed on GitHub has made adequate progress, so much so that Samsung decided to jump into the fray by committing some engineering know-how to its success. In a nutshell, Rust wants to replace C++ as the programming language of choice, where it is capable of taking full advantage of heterogeneous, multi-core hardware that we find today, without compromising on security. I, for one, would not mind if Rust were to be realized and utilized worldwide soon, and heck, it can even be the new gold programming language standard, but is it capable of achieving such a distinction? Only time will tell. Good luck!

Mozilla and Samsung collaborating on new Servo web browser engine for Android and ARM
Posted in: Today's Chili 
It’s a fairly bold claim, but Mozilla and Samsung have announced today that they’re now attempting to “rebuild the web browser from the ground up on modern hardware.” That initiative takes the form of Servo, a new web browser engine designed for Android and ARM and based on Mozilla’s Rust programming language, which itself sees a new release today. Expectedly, details on the browser engine remain light, with Mozilla and Samsung offering no indication of a release schedule or a final product. In the blog post announcing the engine, Mozilla says only that it’ll be “putting more resources into Servo” in the coming year as it also aims to complete the first major revision of Rust, and that it and Samsung will be “increasingly looking at opportunities on mobile platforms.” You can find the full announcement, and the source for both Rust and Servo if you’re so inclined, at the source link below.
