Playing Duke Nukem 3D via Rust
Jeppe Kristensen works at LEGO in the infrastructure department doing automation of network related tasks using Python and Typescript. Rasmus Larsen works on Falcon LogScale at CrowdStrike doing provisioning and developing multi-tenancy features.
The Duke Nukem 3D launcher project is about orchestrating the setup and launch of the Duke Nukem 3D game among different peers on different platforms. This includes the load of custom game files and parsing of game statistics. All of this is wrapped up into a GUI application to make the experience as easy for the user as possible.
During this talk we will cover topics

• Handling OS-specific behaviour
• Client - server communication using tokio_util::codec::codec
• Server architecture for message handling
• Parsing log files using peg parser generator

Using Rust for Smart Contracts
Concordium will present how they use Rust for their "smart contracts".

An innocent story of contributing to a Rust project
Ole Friis Østergaard works at GitHub, mainly does Ruby, but also sometimes does Rust in his spare time.
We'll talk about a time when Ole contributed functionality to an existing Rust crate. The journey took an interesting turn at some point, and he learned things he never thought he would learn. Now you will learn it too, and you will never un-learn it.

This meetup will be at Concordium, Åboulevarden 31, 1st floor. Please feel free to use the comments on this meetup event to organize transportation if needed.
