Singapore Rustaceans Meetup #1

Hi Rustaceans!

I am pleased to announce our very first formal Singapore Rustaceans meetup. For our very first meetup, we have Omer to speak about making systems programming great again. Let us know if your company would like to sponsor or if you'd like to give a 10-15min talk.

# Program:

1. "Make System Programming Great Again" by Omer Iqbal (@olenhad (http://twitter.com/olenhad))

Segfaults, Buffer Overflows, Data Races and Memory Leaks cross over unprotected memory with ease. They steal our jobs, crash our code, cause vulnerabilities in openssl. We need to be tough. The liberals from C and C++ have kept these borders open for too long. It's time to build a wall...

Rust is a systems programming language designed for speed, safety, concurrency and hype. It features a radical memory model that gives YOU control, rather than those pesky garbage collectors, while still maintaining compile time safety gurantees.

This talk will introduce Rust, focusing on the fabled memory model, the motivations behind its design and the consequences.

We would love to hear more talks so if you like to talk about Rust, please let us know. We also welcome beginner friendly talks like a Rust 101 or you can even share about your journey though learning Rust!

Last but not least, we thank our sponsor ThoughtWorks for sponsoring the pizzas and the venue.
