Hi! We organize Boston-area events for enthusiasts of the Rust programming language, for every level of expertise from total beginner to seasoned Rustacean.
Rust is a user-friendly low-level programming language with a focus on security, reliability, and concurrency, while valuing extreme performance in memory usage and execution time.
Our regular events operate on a six-week rotation, centered around the cadence of Rust's own release schedule (starting circa April 2019, this is a new experiment for us!):
Week 1: Casual lunch in Davis Square in Somerville
Week 2: Honest-to-goodness meetup at one of several venues in the Boston area, with catering, presentations, schmoozing, hacking, and more!
Week 3: Casual lunch in Kendall Square in Cambridge
Week 4: Casual hack night, where we help motivate each other to work on personal projects
Week 5: Casual lunch in Downtown Boston
Week 6: We take this week off for the regular Rust release!
Feel free to contact the organizers via Meetup.com if you would like to present a project at a meetup, provide a venue for hosting a meetup, sponsor a meetup's catering, or simply give feedback. Hope to see you!
[This is the first in a new series of recurring Rust events!]
Join us for a casual, no-pressure lunchtime hangout while we chat about Rust, the universe, and everything. Meet us way in the back of the Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, conveniently adjacent to the Davis stop on the Red Line. Food and drink are available here, as well as from any of the other distinguished eateries in Davis Square. Arrive whenever you like and stay as long as you desire. Look for the rusty metal Ferris-the-Crab tchotchke (pictured above) accompanying the long-haired man in the rainbow jacket (that's me!). Leave a comment here if you need any help finding us.
And if you can't make it this time, this event repeats every six weeks. Hope to see you!
Hello all! With the new (er, new-ish) year comes a new schedule! The first in our new series of once-every-six-weeks meetups will be held Wednesday, April 24 at VMWare's offices at Downtown Crossing.
Doors open at 6:00 for carousing and food; talks to begin at 6:30; free time to mingle and share from 7:00 to 9:00. Catering includes vegetarian and vegan options.
The speaker is yet to be determined, message the group organizers if you'd like to present what you're working on! Slots from five minutes to thirty minutes in length are available.
Don't miss the other events in our new schedule, the every-other-weekly casual lunches in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville and the hexa-weekly casual hack-togethers at a place that I don't even know yet! Some of these are so new that I haven't even scheduled them yet (trying to find a place to do hackathons!), but check the meetup group page for more info and be on the lookout for forthcoming announcements.
Hoping to see you!
