Learn+Try: Rust in the Browser via WebAssembly

I (aka Scott Steele) will be recounting several different ways of using WebAssembly that I trialled while exposing a medium-size Rust library we wrote at Distil to the browser. I'll be looking at—at a minimum—Emscripten (https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/), WebPack (https://webpack.js.org/), and Wasm Bindgen (https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-bindgen).

The talk shouldn't run much more than 45 minutes. Afterward, peeps will be free to hack on Rust+WebAssembly or anything else Rusty that tickles their fancy.

Pizza will be provided (feel free to suggest toppings).

The venue is a 3 minute walk from the Ballston Metro Station. Vehicle parking is available in the building's garage entering from

N. Vermont St (Google Maps ( https://goo.gl/maps/KUxYUBHMDV52 ))

and Distil Networks will validate parking (yay!). If the elevators or front doors are locked before 7 (we are trying to have them remain unlocked), please feel free to call/text Scott at 732.759.0006 and we will come let you up. If you park below the building, the doors to the elevator area should now also be unlocked.

Note: This is a recurring meetup every 2nd Thursday of the month.
