Thinking about what I want from the next RustConf: - Deep dive into rustc internals (frontend, MIR, LLVM use) - Design/impl of: Chalk, NLL, HKT, &c - Technical lore / historical view of rustc - Close comparison against the latest & greatest in C++ - Low-level impl of async/await
Most of those work best as blog posts. The problem with in depth technical talks like that is they're very easy to do poorly, a lot of selection committees avoid them for that reason.

Agree that many of them would be hard to do well. But, I'm thinking about something like what you'd get from a senior team member when learning a new code base: "hey, here's the big picture, here's why it's like this, if you wanted to do e.g. X, here's where you'd start looking".

Another example: "Hi, I'm X, I work on rustc codegen every day. Here's how I conceptualize the problem space, here's what I rely on LLVM for, here's where we're trying to go".
