Our speakers:
Andrew Gallant (author of ripgrep and the regex crate) will be presenting Jiff, a somewhat new datetime library for Rust inspired by Javascript's modern Temporal datetime API.
James Logan will be giving a lightning talk on the performance engineering techniques that allow InterpN's state-of-the-art numerical interpolation methods to achieve up to 250x speedup over SciPy entirely in safe, single-threaded Rust.
Colton Loftus will be giving a lightning talk on the low level accessibility stack on Linux, how Rust is helping to solve its historical challenges, and ways you can leverage Rust to make your own assistive technology software or accessible desktop applications.
MORE EVENTS: We host regular lunches (see the map above for the spot nearest to you), weekend hackathons, and large evening meetups. See our events page!
