sitwego.com 100% fair is 100% fare

@Morris_Monye I don't use any of those 🙃 😆

No wonder everyone is angry here.

BullMQ, one of the most widely used Redis job queues, now has a native Rust implementation. 🦀 cargo add bullmq-official Built natively with async/await and Tokio : idiomatic Rust API, Result-based errors, workers that share processors safely across tasks. What's included in v1.0.0: → Delayed and prioritized jobs, deduplication, rate limits → Configurable retries, backoff, stalled-job detection → FlowProducer for dependent job trees → Cron and interval-based recurring jobs → QueueEvents for lifecycle observability The interesting part: it runs the exact same Lua scripts as the battle-tested Node.js, Python, PHP, and Elixir implementations. Jobs produced in Rust can be processed by a Node.js worker, and vice versa, no adapter layer needed. Performance is already competitive on day one : slightly ahead of Node.js for sequential and bulk job ingestion, on par for high-concurrency processing. A solid way to adopt Rust incrementally in an existing BullMQ-based system. 🔗 bullmq.io/news/260712/ru… #RustLang #Redis #BullMQ #AsyncRust #Tokio

@justsa_rah Rn are small if you build them properly in prod.

The bundle size between react native and flutter is wild Omg 😭

@brian_yehnda @gregorytechKE Yes it's

@bizz_john @gregorytechKE iko playstore?

brocabs.co.za SA has already implemented this, any Kenyan developers interested in collaborating to do this?

@brian_yehnda @gregorytechKE

@gregorytechKE Let's discuss

@brian_yehnda Check sitwego.com Kenyan based ride-hailing platform, Upfront fares. No hidden cuts. 0% commission for drivers — so they keep more of what they earn, riders enjoy fair prices every ride, and anyone can improve the codebase.

Rust 1.97.0 is out!🚀 Highlights: * New integer bit manipulation APIs (bit_width, highest_one, lowest_one) * Additional stabilized language and target features * Cargo, rustdoc, and compiler improvements * Various platform compatibility updates Release notes in the comments 👇

@CodeByNZ Teleportation.

What's the next big thing after AI?

😄 🤣 😂

@StanleyMasinde_ I usually use this one transform.tools/json-to-rust-s…

@SamProgramiz When you need strong choice for distributed background jobs, especially if you want database-agnostic persistence.

Shouldn’t background processing be a language feature? How bad is rust’s support for concurrency that you need a whole third party library for background processing?

Watu wanabuild real valuable tools out there and then there is the kenyan space 🤣. We need to stop joking

Big news: Upstash Redis Search is now generally available! 🎉 ◆ Superfast™ full-text search built in Rust ◆ Clean & 100% type-safe TypeScript APIs ◆ Works with any Upstash Redis database Add fast search to React, Next.js and more 👇

C++ and Java don't even require you to write unwrap to cause a crash, they might just crash at any moment when using a variable. #rustlang

@juiceboy_of_abj Digital Ocean or linode

Which VPS provider would you recommend for self-hosting a backend?

A sneak-peek of what I've been building the past few weeks. A creator commerce and link-in-bio platform for Kenyan creators and professionals. Upload your digital products, set one link, and we handle checkout, delivery, analytics, and MPesa payouts.

@nater02 @expo Yes for real

Fable is absurdly good at building @expo apps. In a day, I built Amber. A place to save almost anything and let AI organize it all for you. Built on Expo + Convex + Clerk + AI SDK.

@wamweaaa @palpluss_future @the_bazarin Have you tried kopokopo @KopoKopoInc developers.kopokopo.com/guides/receive…

I've decided to go with @palpluss_future by @the_bazarin for MPesa integration in my app. It's a payment platform that seems to have really good DX. With docs for both STK Push and B2C payments which I need. I'll give it a review once I get things up and running.

@mureithi_me Waiting for it, Marked the 📅.

On Oct 15 I will be at Barcelona for #EuroRust where I will be giving a talk about the lessons learnt from 5yrs of building #apalis with #rust. Remote attendance starts at €50. Save the date! Na watu wangu mtokezee 🫡. eurorust.eu/talks/lessons-…
