https://twitter.com/bcantrilldelivered an impassioned whirlwind of insight last year at the inaugural https://www.p99conf.io/ — the open source-focused conference designed for (and by) engineers who obsess over P99 latencies. In eager anticipation of Cantrill’s return for https://www.p99conf.io/, let’s take a look back at his talk on “Rust, Wright’s Law and The Future of Low-Latency Systems.”

And even though hardware is not the beginning and end of all systems performance, it will ultimately limit our performance.”

In the past decade or so, Moore’s Law has been very clearly decelerating, as has the broader process revolution.

It’s a very exciting time to be developing high-performance low-latency systems, and the Rust revolution is very much here.”
