My Rust dev setup in 2026

You don’t need many tools to write Rust—just a decent editor, and maybe an AI assistant or two. Here’s my Rust dev setup in 2026.

The Scheduler

In the previous article we explored how Go’s memory allocator manages heap memory — grabbing large arenas from the OS, dividing them into spans and size classes, and using a three-level hierarchy (mcache, mcentral, mheap) to make most allocations lock-free. A key detail...

Notes on Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials

Polynomial interpolation is a method of finding a polynomial function that fits a given set of data perfectly. More concretely, suppose we have a set of n+1 distinct points [1]: \[(x_0,y_0), (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)\cdots(x_n, y_n)\] And we want to find the polynomial coefficients...
