The build team released Slint version 1.0 on Monday, which means the new Rust-based toolkit is now ready for use in real-world applications.
Slint is a tool that can be used to make user interfaces for different operating systems and CPU types. It works with Linux, macOS, Windows, WebAssembly, Blackberry QNX, and even bare metal systems.
The tool is created using Rust, but developers can interact with JavaScript, Rust, or C++ libraries to build the user interface. This flexibility allows them to choose the programming language that suits their needs.
This is a big accomplishment and the result of three years of hard work by 50 people. Version 1.0 includes small improvements to the way the program works and fixes for issues found in the previous version. Slint has moved from being in the development stage and is now ready to be used in real projects.

Shopify purges garbage collection
The Ruby infrastructure team at Shopify is working on making Ruby’s garbage collector faster in Shopify’s main system, as mentioned in the company’s engineering blog.
Jean Boussier, a Ruby developer, talked about the successful improvements that made so far. He also acknowledged that there were some challenges along the way and that more work still needs to be done.
When the Ruby garbage collector runs, everything else stops. This means that when it decides to work, it usually happens while processing a request. Moreover, This garbage collection process can cause delays for customers, making them wait longer for a response.
Boussier showed a picture that explains how time is used for garbage collection in certain requests. This only happens in 1 out of 100 requests. On average, each request takes 3 milliseconds to do garbage collection.
Some requests take even longer, lasting a few seconds for garbage collection. The picture explains why this happens and tells us how the team made changes to make things faster.
