What we’re about
We are interested in the emerging systems programming language Rust, from Mozilla. Rustaceans of all skill levels are welcome, even if you are just interested in the language. We want to get together to learn Rust and work on Rust projects of all kinds.

Rust in November: Small Crates Cult
Chaos Computer Club Cologne (c4) e.V., Heliosstr. 6a, Köln, DERust Cologne is a monthly meetup dealing with everything Rust. This time we'll talk about useful little helper crates that'll make you life easier without significantly growing your dependency tree.
(The meetup will likely be held in German but we'll switch to English if needed.)
Dear Rustacean,
you are hereby warmly invited to join the next Rust Cologne meetup. Whether you want to speed up your python code, write a web service, need interop with your C++-codebase, cross-compile for a microcontroller, write an emulator, … we've got you covered!
We commonly open up with a brief summary of noteworthy changes in the Rust ecosystem. Be it updates to the language itself, public events, its impact on other projects and languages, …
This month we will talk about well- and lesser-known crates that will make your life easier without bloating the list of dependencies. This is a great opportunity for you to bring attention to your favorite little helpers. We'll show how to inspect the list of dependencies your project relies upon and discuss strategies how to keep this list in check.
If you have a crate in mind you would like to tell others about please let us know on GitHub or in the comments.As usual, the remaining time is about whatever you want to talk about!
Always wanted to know why Rust is harder to learn than other popular languages or why it lacks a certain feature? When is it appropriate to rewrite a project in Rust? Is the compiler really that slow and are the binaries really that big? Do all those safety guarantees have an impact on the performance? Fetch a drink and let's find out.See you soon!
Yours,
Florian and Kai---
If you have a topic you'd like to talk about, please let us know in advance. This way we can make sure there's a time-slot for you and maybe announce it officially. Thank you.7 attendees
