Over ons
We aim to bring systems programming enthusiasts together by organizing not-for-profit events in Ghent and the surrounding area.
A systems programmer is someone who does systems programming. According to Wikipedia: ... systems programming aims to produce software and software platforms which provide services to other software, are performance constrained, or both.
In this group you can expect informal gatherings like:
- Socials: relax after a long day at work and chat with like-minded people. If you are too exhausted to think, no worries, no-one will judge. The primary location will be cafe/restaurant Marengo next to Coupure in Ghent.
- Presentations: exciting tools and frameworks in programming languages that give a combination of performance and expressiveness. For example, Rust or C++, but other topics are welcome.
- Workshops: hands-on, goal-directed practical learning.

Talk: History of IO in Linux and Asynchronous Rust with CompIO
DoubleVerify, Kortrijksesteenweg 1084, Gent, BEThe IO system in Linux has gone through many changes over the last decades. In this talk, we'll go through the history and the reasons why it evolved: what problems were solved, how, and where are we today? We will wrap it up by comparing the current state of IO in Linux, i.e. epoll and io_uring, and how this relates to the Rust ecosystem:
while Tokio is the most famous asynchronous runtime and executor for Rust programs, there exists alternatives: for even better performance you might want to try an alternative runtime like CompIO. We will go through some examples, and relate the performance optimizations to the choices it makes on how it does IO.Will be presented by Koen from DoubleVerify.

CodeKata: Mathematics
Balkonzaal Jeugddienst, Kammerstraat 10 (1th floor), Gent, BEWe'll vote for 1-4 problems from project Euler
and solve them in our language of choice. Participants switch teams every 30-60 minutes, start from scratch and discuss results. (Mustapha also prepared a worked out exercise about differential equations you can vote for if you don't like project Euler).Rules:
- No gen AI
- Use any programming language
- Latecomers don't vote problemsThe goal is to sharpen our math and team skills :).
