AWS has elevated Rust support in Lambda from experimental to generally available, empowering developers to create high-performance, memory-safe serverless applications. This milestone enhances developer confidence, backed by AWS support and SLA. While it offers speed comparable to C++, challenges such as lengthy SDK compile times and increased binary sizes remain key considerations.

Sustainable APIs benefit most from minimalism, Jochen Joswig said at OOP Conference . Deployment should consider energy, usage, carbon intensity, hardware acquisition. Remote work, long device lifespans, and green office practices can lower emissions. Efficient CI, selective builds, smaller artefacts, and optimized assets can further reduce energy use.

Be my guest, Brandon. I opened up group creation, so you should be able to create a iOS Gaming group. If you do, please fill in all the blanks, use appropriate images and you'll be the leader!
Absolutely. My main goal (and partial reasoning in reaching out here) consists of me trying to gather a group of people interested in getting together for iOS game Development. I've been digging around trying my best to find the best places to look for this (although I would prefer to gather local people).
Hi Brandon and welcome to Codetown! Next step is to join some groups. We can talk about creating a gaming group if you like. All the best, Mike
