Lyrics

(Intro)

My friend with the gift of gab? Ferris Crab.

(Verse 1)

One of my crates got a lot of fly traits
Twenty “i” eight edition? My decision: time to migrate
I’m getting irate at all the excess unsafe
wait — backtrace

We got a cute crab, which is the best crate?
That’s up for grabs. GitHub or Phab-
ricator, review my pull now or later
Hit @bors with the r+ and you’ll be my saviour

And when I’m coming through, I got a cargo too
Reaction to wasm? Domain working group
If you need a regex, BurntSushi is your dude
But if you need a Future well we also got a few

Popping off this Vec like a pimple
And you know that the block I’m from is an impl
So if I talk about an IR, no it’s not GIMPLE
Only rustc MIR, just that simple

(Chorus)

Thought there’d never be a Rust Rap?
Turns out this is just that
impl newsletter #RustFacts
Ferris Crab, that’s a must have
Data race, we gon’ bust that
Mem unsafe, we gon’ bust that
This the first and only Rust Rap
Ferris Crab, that’s a must have

(Verse 2)

If you never borrow check, then you’re gonna get wrecked
Pull out gdb cause you need to inspect out-of-bounds index
Oh guess what’s next?
Use after free turns out it’s gonna be

Or… just use the rustc
And you’ll be flushing all of these bugs down the drain
Gushing super fast code from your brain
No dusting: quite easy to maintain

What’s the secret sauce? It’s all zero cost
Couldn’t do it better if your boss
Demand you try to do it all by hand, but why?
Hate to be that guy, but generics monomorphize

Don’t use a while loop, i < n
Use an Iterator: much better by ten
And when you have a dozen eggs don’t start counting hens
But me and Ferris Crab: best friends to the end

(Chorus)

Thought there’d never be a Rust Rap?
Turns out this is just that
impl newsletter #RustFacts
Ferris Crab, that’s a must have
Data race, we gon’ bust that
Mem unsafe, we gon’ bust that
This the first and only Rust Rap
Ferris Crab, that’s a must have

(Outro)
