Rust Poland x Kraków #5 | Kraków

# Rust Meets Kraków!

We're excited to bring the Rust conversation to Kraków, hosted at Zabłocie 20, supported by Superteam Poland and moderated by Mateusz Lenart (https://talent-compiler.io/).

This meetup brings together developers eager to dive deep into real-world Rust — from zero-knowledge cryptography to the unglamorous truths of production systems.

Our goal is simple: to connect aspiring developers, seasoned engineers, and all those who want to explore what Rust looks like beyond the hype.

Agenda
Adam Smolarek
Title: Halo2 for Rust Devs: Your First ZK Circuit in 30 Minutes
Zero-knowledge proofs are gaining traction, but most resources are either Solidity-focused or assume heavy math background. In this talk, we'll build a working ZK circuit using halo2 and pure Rust — from "what is a constraint" to compilable code. No language switch required, just Rust.

Mateusz Maćkowski, Marek Grzelak
Title: Blazingly Fast or Blazingly Hyped? A Reality Check on the RIIR Movement
This talk puts popular Rust rewrites to the test. We'll examine how these tools stack up against their battle-tested predecessors, looking at real-world performance, compilation times, binary sizes, feature completeness, and ecosystem maturity.
Title: The Unglamorous Side of Rust Web Development
This technical talk examines the most prevalent pain points facing Rust web developers today and explores how the community is addressing them.

Why Join Us?
Networking: Connect with the Kraków Rust community and fellow Rustaceans!
Knowledge: High-level technical insights from production systems and cutting-edge cryptography.
Venue: Experience the Zabłocie 20 atmosphere.
