Event Timeline:

• 6:30pm - Pre-talk Networking Time - Anticafe Place Des Arts (294 Saint-Catherine St W, 3rd floor, Montreal, Quebec H2X 2A1): this is a coworking space, so the event costs about $10 that covers drinks like coffee/tea and snacks like chips/pretzels/cookies; sign in on Anticafe's computer when you enter and pay Anticafe for your stay when you leave; after signing in, go to the 3rd floor, turn left, and then walk to the presentation room with the projector screen. You can come earlier than 6:30pm if you really want to, but your stay would then cost a few dollars more.

Native Ruby gems with Rust [1h] - David Cornu - Staff Software Developer - Patch

In recent years, Rust has become a viable alternative to C for writing native extensions to Ruby. In this talk we’ll cover the basics of native extensions, the benefits and tradeoffs of using Rust, and how to get started.

Speaker Bio:

David is a staff software developer at Patch (a climate tech startup). He cracked open Why’s Poignant Guide to Ruby in 2009 and has been in and out of Rails apps since.

If you have a Ruby talk idea you would like to present at a future Montreal.rb meetup, please contact the organizer (Andy Maleh) to get your talk scheduled in an available future meetup month (it is also possible to bump talks by organizers of the group into later months to take one of their month slots for your talk). You can also contact the organizer if your company is interested in hosting a future Montreal.rb meetup at their Montreal office. Note that speakers must present in-person in Montreal because the goal of the meetup is to encourage more in-person networking and socialization around Ruby Software Engineering topics with maximum communication bandwidth. Talks are recorded and posted on the @montreal-rb YouTube Channel if talk speakers agree.
