Today, Facebook is introducing Facebook Shop to consumers in the UK, a new place to shop and discover new brands and products in the Facebook app: telegraph.co.uk/technology/202… (via @hannaheboland)
🧵👇
Starting from today, Facebook users in the UK will see Shop featured as a bookmark on the Facebook menu bar and in the mobile app.
The Shop experience for consumers will feature curated collections, products and recent posts from businesses of all sizes.
Businesses who launched a shop in the UK include furniture store @MADEdotcom and small business, Jewellery by Nasira.
People will be able to see personalised content from brands within the News Feed, and through in-product notifications or small business favourites they follow.
In a time when businesses need to pivot to online due to lockdowns, Shops make it easier for brands to set up a single online store, at no cost, that customers can access on both Facebook and Instagram: about.fb.com/news/2020/08/m…

A quick history of Rust (@rustlang) at Facebook, 🧵👇
Facebook initially adopted Rust in 2017 for a project to develop a new source control service. That project had stringent performance and correctness requirements so the team decided that Rust was a better fit than C++. [1/5]
Rust adoption has been expanding steadily since then, with hundreds of engineers using it for dozens of projects such as Diem, Hack, or Mononoke.
We've been using it to write developer tools, which make a good environment for experimenting with a new language. [2/5]
Having proved itself in dev tools, there’s increased interest in using Rust for backend service code, and some initial exploration for using it in mobile apps. [3/5]
