⚡️ Rust Lightning Talks // Parker:async, Alice:ECS, Cole:NLP, and Bernhard:P2P

Please join us for four lightning talks about a wide range of topics ranging from open source!

We're going to continue using breakout rooms feature of Zoom again to help people meet before the talk, so if you'd like to participate in that, please RSVP and join the Zoom link with us at 7:00pm.

Starting at 7:30pm:

"Change detection for Bevy 0.5" with Alice I. Cecile
https://github.com/alice-i-cecile

How the `bevy` game engine implemented a fool-proof approach to running systems on component changed and related details.

"Scaling `Future`s" with Parker Timmerman
https://github.com/ParkMyCar

Async programming in Rust, and how `Future` scales to large components, and how we use that at Dropbox.

"Layered-NLP crate announcement" with Cole Lawrence
https://github.com/colelawrence

Taking inspiration from ECS APIs like bevy, hecs, and shipyard, we'll look at a Rust-centric NLP crate designed and used for Story.ai.

"Programming Distributed Systems With Aquamarine" with Bernhard
https://github.com/boneyard93501

Programming distributed, peer-to-peer applications is hard. Aquamarine empowers developers to build powerful peer-to-peer applications by significantly lowering entry barriers. Rust-based Aquamarine is an open-source, π-calculus based runtime environment and programming language that enables the separation of orchestration from business logic thereby allowing developers to take full advantage of peer-to-peer system capabilities.
