Rust - Confident, Productive Systems Programming

Scala Days Conferences via YouTube

Overview

Explore a comprehensive keynote presentation on Rust programming language delivered at Scala Days Chicago 2017. Dive into Rust's innovative approach to systems programming, combining low-level control and predictability with safety and ergonomics. Discover the concept of "ownership" and its role in enabling memory safety without garbage collection, concurrency without data races, and abstraction without overhead. Learn how Rust guarantees thread safety through ownership and explore the integration of Rust code with other languages. Gain insights into the Rust community's approach to open, consensus-driven language evolution, achieving stability without stagnation. The presentation covers topics such as the basics of ownership, compiler-enforced moves, mutable references, borrow checking, concurrency, trait definition and usage, zero-cost abstractions, and Rust's feature pipeline. Understand why Mozilla supports Rust and how it balances control and safety in systems programming.
