Workshop: Systems Programming with Rust

Bryan Cantrill (Creator of DTrace) called Rust the “biggest development in systems development in his career.” Rust is a systems programming language sponsored by Mozilla which describes it as a "safe, concurrent, practical language", supporting functional and imperative-procedural paradigms. Rust is unique in that it enforces safety without runtime overhead, most importantly, without the overhead of garbage collection.    

In this workshop, Steve Klabnik and Ashley Williams both members of the Core Rust team will take you through a three hour deep dive into the language. You’ll learn about Ownership, Rust’s linear type system, safe (and unsafe), fault isolation, and more. This workshop won’t make you an expert on the language, but it will but you on the path to becoming one.
