RustLab 2021

In this first webinar, we’ll talk with Pietro Lorefice about rewriting a small component from C to Rust. We’ll particularly address the issues of the old implementation and the advantages of the new one.

Starting a new project, which are the most relevant things that make you pick Go or Rust?

We'll see the challenges faced when trying to implement a proof of concept #GUI of a system inspired by #Qt Quick 2 in #Rustlang using WebGPU for cross-platform #GPU access.

The Rust compiler’s borrow checker is critical for ensuring safe Rust code. Even more critical, however, is how the borrow checker provides useful, automated guidance on how to write safe code when the check fails.

In this talk I discuss in depth one of the key selling points of Rust for cloud native apps: creating really thin and fast apps or infrastructure layers. To do this, it is important to review and examine the memory allocation choices that we can make in Rust, and how to optimize them and data structures to ensure our Rust apps can reach the ceiling they are capable of.
