📣 macros_rule the_world!
by Alvin Ramskogler
17:40 (5:40pm CEST)

Ever wondered what the bang ("!") after "println" means? Not anymore! I will show you exactly how macros work, how to use them, and how to write your own macros.

This is the perfect talk for you if you are using macros, but you always wanted to know how they work and how to implement them yourself.

📣 Building microservices with WebAssembly, Rust, and Spin
by Radu Matei
Approx. 18:20 (6:20pm CEST)

Spin (https://spin.fermyon.dev) is a framework for building and running event-driven microservice applications with WebAssembly (Wasm) components.

With Spin, we’re trying to make it easier to get started with using WebAssembly on the server so that we can all take advantage of the security, portability, and speed WebAssembly provides when it comes to running microservices.

In this session, we will introduce the WebAssembly component model, and how Fermyon uses it together with Rust to create fast, secure, and portable microservices.

ℹ️ About Radu
Radu Matei is a founder and CTO of Fermyon. He is passionate about WebAssembly, distributed systems, and artificial intelligence, and in the past he worked at Microsoft Azure in the DeisLabs research and development team, where he was a core maintainer for multiple server-side WebAssembly and distributed systems projects like Krustlet, Draft, Brigade, or the Cloud Native Application Bundle project (building the distribution and security specifications).

We want to say a big THANK YOU to Microsoft for supporting the Rust Linz meetup 👏!
