Mid-month Rustful: The Rust Borrow Checker—A Deep Dive

Nell Shamrell-Harrington (https://twitter.com/nellshamrell) will be taking us an a deep dive into the borrow checker (🦀🎉).

We'll also get Javier Viola's (https://twitter.com/pepoviola) lightning talk on Tide+websockets that we missed in March due to technical issues.

The Rust Borrow Checker—A Deep Dive: The Rust compiler's borrow checker is critical for ensuring safe Rust code. Even more critical, however, is how the borrow checker provides useful, automated guidance on how to write safe code when the check fails. Early in your Rust journey it may feel like you are fighting the borrow checker. Come to this talk to learn how you can transition from fighting the borrow checker to using its guidance to write safer and more powerful code at any experience level. Walk away not only understanding the what and the how of the borrow checker—but why it works the way it does—and why it is so critical to both the technical functionality and philosophy of Rust.

Pizza will be encouraged but not provided (feel free to discuss toppings).
