Functional Vilnius #4: Rust & Monoids

We happily invite you to our next meetup with two very exciting talks!

## “Introduction to Rust” by Nerijus Arlauskas (@nercury (https://twitter.com/nercury))

Rust 1.0 stable will be released on May 15th. To celebrate, Nerijus Arlauskas will give you a brief introduction to Rust, explain its safe low level control mechanism, type system, and some reasons it is easier to understand from functional point of view.

## “Monoids and friends” by Saulius Valatka (@saulius_vl (https://twitter.com/saulius_vl))

Saulius Valatka will continue our journey of exploring algebraic structures in programming. Here's his abstract:

"In this talk we will take a step back and focus on the simplest algebraic structures out there: monoids and their friends like semigroups etc. We will demonstrate how natural and ubiquitous they are in real life using tons of examples."
