Rust Meetup: Better Dev Environments w/ Flox + Hangs

What We're About:
Boulder Rust Meetup is for fans of the programming language to get together. Swap tips, lean from each other, and build a community.

What is Up at this Event:
One of our community members is going to present on a big open project they built at work that is both built in Rust, and make it easier for you manage Rust builds. Blurb below. Agenda:

• Zach presents to break the ice for ~30 min
• Chaos chit chat about rust for ~1.5 hr

Where We Are Meeting:
Solid State Depot Makerspace is tucked in the corner of an industrial lot. It is next door to the Spot climbing gym, and a little hard to find. We'll be in the classroom in the SW corner, just wander in and you'll find it.

What You Should Bring:
Curiosity, probably a laptop (there is wifi), maybe some beer.

At this meetup Zach Mitchell will discuss Flox, Zach's employer and a new tool for making reproducible developer environments without containers. Flox just released it's version 1.0 in March, so Zach is finally allowed to talk about it! Flox is written primarily in Rust and is built on top of Nix. We'll do a demo of the tool, talk about how it's designed and how it works under the hood, and wrap up with where things are headed in the near future.

For more information about what Flox is, you can read Why we built Flox on the company blog, or, for a more technical take, Today we released Flox 1.0 on Zach's blog.
