Explore a 20-minute conference talk from the 2015 LangSec Workshop at the IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy Workshops that delves into Nom, a byte-oriented, streaming, zero-copy parser combinators library in Rust. Learn how the Rust programming language's features, such as slicing, enable powerful memory management and how its type safety contributes to writing correct parsers. Discover insights on developing streaming parsers and enhancing usability in parsing libraries. Gain valuable knowledge about Rust's potential as a safer alternative for low-level coding, potentially replacing C in certain applications.
