In his talk, "Rust + Swift interop. A technical deep dive", he'll first begin by giving a basic overview of FFI and the differences between Rust and Swift's memory models.

He'll then go through the low-level technical details on how to efficiently share rich types between Swift and Rust with zero overhead.

You should hopefully walk away with a good understanding of what goes into ergonomic interop between Rust and Swift, as well as a sense of how to apply some of the ideas when binding Rust to other languages.
