The SWEET flavour of Rust (presentation)

17 Mar 2015 Tags: rust, ppt

I accidentally ended up presenting about Rust at Latcraft’s March event (the event was devoted to Rust, GoLang and Erlang).

It all started with the tweet from Latcraft org people.

@leonardinius I'd love to see you presenting at #latcraft in front of ~100 colleagues - should be motivating enough! Mb Rust lang next year?

And then the race (preparation et cetera) was on ;) Only regret: Will reserve more time for talk polishing next time. Unfortunately, guys screwed up video, so I don’t have one.

Agenda

Every chef now and then uses pinch of his secret spices to make a dish somewhat special and exquisite. This talk will provide introduction into nature of Rust sweetness and will answer to most important questions: Why and When does it make our dishes better? We will iterate over small code snippets and take a look How strong typing and functional thinking can be applied to low level system programming.

Also, see discussion at /r/rust (corrections, comments,..).
