### Full Stack Rust

by Robert King

In this talk we will take a brief look at Leptos, a reactive web UI framework.

We will build a small component using rxs, css, signals and server side rendering. We may also explore co-locating server functions, performance impact of WASM, cross compilation, and deployment.

### Writing a compiler for fun and (no) profit

by Utku Demir

Do you love programming, yet are not satisfied with existing languages? Try writing your own!

In this talk, Utku will present his experience in writing a small compiler in Rust. He will also cover the typical components of a compiler and explore how (and whether) using Rust is beneficial.
Ultimately, this is an opportunity to geek out about compilers :)
