Rust - An Alternative to High-Level Programming Languages

Explore Rust as a potential alternative to high-level programming languages in this 30-minute conference talk from RustFest Zürich 2017. Delve into the advantages of Rust's type safety and performance guarantees for application development, even when systems programming isn't the primary focus. Examine whether Rust's features can empower high-level programmers to build and maintain complex applications with greater confidence, despite potential complexity barriers. Learn from speaker Élisabeth Henry's personal journey with Rust and how it compensates for her self-described lack of discipline through its strict compiler.
