Rust Cracow #1 - Async and Web Assembly

It’s time to announce our first Rust offline meetup in Kraków! If you already are a Rust developer, or maybe you are planning to learn this language or you are passionate about strict type systems, reliable and high performance software, that’s something for you! We are opening stationary meetup events in Kraków and we will try to organize meetups regularly.

Our first meetup will take place at Playbook Engineering office at Main Square 6 in Cracow (Kamienica Szara)! Playbook is a leading platform and product provider to regulated gambling brands, with a strong heritage in the racing industry. We combine traditional gambling values and processes with modern solutions that adapt to the ever changing regulatory and customer landscape. Playbook Engineering offers a global iGaming platform that provides a service to established operators and new entrants who are looking to disrupt the industry. Playbook Engineering is using Rust for new services development and to improve on existing ones.

There will be pizza and alcohol/non-alcohol drinks.

We still have dedicated slots available for lightning talks, ranging from 10 to 20 minutes. If you have something interesting to share with the community, whether it's your most challenging bug, a captivating case study from your work, or even your very own open source project, we encourage you to seize this opportunity! Please send us info here or while the meetup is in progress.

Please enroll only if you are sure you will attend, as there are not too many slots available. We will try to record meetup presentations for those of you who can’t attend but are interested in.

Meetup will be held in polish although some speakers have slides in english.

Agenda:

1) Welcome from the organizers [PL; 15 minutes; 18:00 - 18:15]

2) Threads, async - what’s going on here? - Mateusz Szczyrzyca [PL; 45 minutes 18:15 - 19:00]

Async is believed to be one of the most complicated part of Rust language, but is it true? How to use it, when and why it’s worse/better than threads or green treads? During this presentation I will try to answer to these questions, there will be some code examples. Talk mostly for those who have problems with async usage in Rust.

3) Lighting talks (if there will be any) - TBA

4) Rust & Wasm

How to build both backend and frontend utilizing the power of Web Assembly using Rust.
