Join us in learning more about Rust, one of the fastest-growing programming languages, which continues to be ranked the most-loved language by its users. Its user base, aka “Rustaceans,” has tripled in just two years as more and more software products are being developed in Rust.

In this fast-paced overview with Danesh Forouhari we’ll talk about:

• The history of Rust
• Problems Rust solves
• Comparing Rust to other programming languages
• Benchmarking data (vs. C & Go)
• The good, the bad, and the ugly of programming with Rust
• Running some sample Rust code, if time permits
