EuroRust 2025


Conference Rust Programming

Over the past two days I attended the EuroRust 2025 conference. The talks very very interesting, covering a wide range of topics. In particular, I very much enjoyed 3 talks which I want to talk about briefly.

cellular_raza – Novel Flexibility in Design of Agent-Based Models in Cellular Systems


Paper Science Rust
doi.org/10.25521/maconf.2025.1027

This paper uses cellular_raza to develop a model with cell-type specific interactions whereby cells self-assemble into regions of similar species which is also known as cell-sorting. We use this model to asses the parallelization performance of the numerical backend

Downloading Files with Progress Bars in Rust


Rust

I could not find any short snippets on how to download files in Rust using a progress bar. So here is my take on it.

cellular_raza - Cellular Agent-based Modeling from a Clean Slate


Paper Science Rust
10.21105/joss.07723

How does individual behavior of cells lead to collective emergent phenomena: In our paper "cellular_raza: Cellular Agent-based Modeling from a Clean Slate", we publish a new agent-based simulation framework to model and study a variety of such cellular systems.

Rust Science Programming Conference

I gave a talk at the Scientific Computing in Rust conference.

indexing_fmt


Rust
github.com/jonaspleyer/indexing_fmt

This crate allows the formatting of integer types as superscripts or subscripts. It is written in pure safe Rust and no_std compatible.

approx-derive & approxim


Rust
github.com/jonaspleyer/approx-derive

Provides derive macros for the popular approx crate. Approxim is a fork of approx which includes additional functionality.

Spatial Decomposition


Rust
github.com/jonaspleyer/spatial-decomposition

A Rust crate which can decompose given rectangles into subdomains depending on different criteria. It implements the Kong-Mount-Roscoe (KMR) decomposition

crate2bib


Rust science
github.com/jonaspleyer/crate2bib

A crate to generate a BibTeX entry from a given crate name and optional version number.

circ-buffer


Rust
github.com/jonaspleyer/circ-buffer

A no_std crate for a fixed-size statically allocated ring-buffer with optional serde (De)-Serialization.

Ownership in Rust – Yet another explanation


Programming Rust

A naive and hopefully intuitive explanation of ownership rules in Rust.

Scientific Computing in Rust 2023


Conference Rust Science Programming

Last week I attended the Scientific Computing in Rust 2023 virtual conference. The organizers put together a well-stirred mixture of talks covering a wide range of topics. It was good to see so many other enthusiastic researchers using Rust as their main tool to build software surrounding computational needs.
