Sharing Code between iOS & Android with Rust
When having to share code between iOS and other Platforms, most companies choose C++. It is a well known language with very good tooling, but it also has a lot of pitfalls. For one, it is a very complex language. It also makes it really easy to accidentally introduce memory leaks or segmentation faults; especially if you're used to automatic memory management via ARC. It also looks quite different from Swift. Rust, on the other hand, looks and feels a lot like Swift, and it offers (mostly) the same easy way of sharing code as C++. Rust also has a very safe memory management model, high performance, a way to do fearless concurrency, and a very rich package ecosystem. This talk explores how one could use Rust as a way to share code between multiple platforms.

20:30 - Open Spot for YOU
We are always looking for people interested in giving a (short) talk. Please contact us if you like to share some knowledge! :)

Afterwards - Get together.
Time to have some discussions about the talk, current topics in the Cocoa world or anything else, really. And grab some more drinks.

See you there!
