YOUTUBE: Rust and Cpp Cardiff Meetup
Rust and C++ Cardiff is a group for performant language enthusiasts, beginners and seasoned developers from all fields. We encourage the community to nerd out at workshops and give talks to each other exploring these constantly evolving technologies.
QUESTIONNAIRE: https://forms.gle/SpC2ktAEEFuAp4ps9
We're keen to get feedback on what folks make of the meetups so far, so we can improve in the future and create a great space for everyone! We have a short questionnaire on which we would really love to get as many responses for as possible!

Agenda
17:30 Rust as a modern language in the unofficial Signal client Whisperfish by Thorsten Mindrup
18:00 Intro Talk: Modern Frontends with Rust & WebAssembly in a Typescript World by Jan Vaorin
18:30 Workshop: Rust as an alternative to React and Angular by Jan VaorinTalk Details - Rust as a modern language in the unofficial Signal client Whisperfish
In an era where digital communication is omnipresent, protecting user privacy has become more important than ever. This talk explores the technical implementation of secure messaging on mobile platforms, using Whisperfish — an independent native Signal client for Sailfish OS — as a case study. Whisperfish is built entirely in Rust and leverages the Signal Protocol to ensure end-to-end encrypted communication with the Signal servers.Talk Details: Modern Frontends with Rust & WebAssembly in a Typescript World
In a landscape dominated by JavaScript and TypeScript, Rust and WebAssembly (Wasm) are emerging as powerful allies for building high-performance, secure, and scalable web applications. This talk explores how Rust can complement modern frontend stacks and what this means for the future of web development. We'll dive into real-world use cases, tooling, and best practices and build our own frontend in the following workshop.Workshop Details: Rust as an alternative to React and Angular
Discover how Rust can be a compelling alternative to traditional frontend frameworks like React and Angular. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a prebuilt Yew-based frontend project and explore its architecture, tooling, and capabilities.Bio: Thorsten Mindrup
Thorsten has a degree in electrical engineering and has been developing software for over 25 years in various software development industries: automotive, automation, defence - navy ships, agricultural technology, research, and medical. In the programming languages C, C++, Java, Python and now Rust. He works as a software developer and software architect and in the role of lead software architect and product security engineer at the company Evident Scientific at Münster in Westphalia.Bio: Jan Vaorin
