The talk Pool gave at RustConf this year was about a way to try to write programs with fewer bugs. He has developed a tool called cargo-mutants that highlights gaps in test coverage by identifying functions that can be broken without causing any tests to fail. This can be a valuable complement to other testing techniques, he explained.

URL redirection, also called URL forwarding, allows multiple URL addresses to be associated with a single page. This can include a form, the entire website, or a web application. This functionality is executed through a specialized HTTP response called an HTTP redirect. Redirecting URLs involves pointing an existing URL to a new one. This effectively communicates to your visitors and search bots that the URL has a new destination. This redirect can be either a temporary or a permanent redirection.
