About us
Rust is growing, increasingly powered by its many and varied application areas. This group is about catering to the interests of people who just want to apply it, as well as those who want to learn more about the core language itself.
For a taste of what to expect, see some of our past talks (YouTube / main website), but also see areas we'll hope to cover, like Gaming / Web / ML/AI / Data / Guis.
We believe the Rust language and community can benefit anyone regardless of their level of ability or prior experience. "Rust and Friends" is a local / online Meetup intended to help us achieve that goal. We also have a #rust channel on the Scottish Technology Club Discord server.
For all meetings and interactions we follow Rust Lang Code of Conduct.

Rust May Talks: Aetherus + TBA
Rm 1.21 Patersons Land, Patersons Land, Holyrood Road, Edinburgh EH8 8AQ, edinburgh, GBTonight we’ll be hearing from:
- Cristian Bourceanu on "Aetherus: Monte-Carlo radiative transfer with photon history tracking of interactions for materials and surfaces". From Cristian:
"Monte-Carlo simulations are ubiquous in producing simulated results for problems that are challenging to solve numerically or analytically, but they can be described in terms of statistics. Aetherus is the first known multispectral time-resolved Monte-Carlo simulation, making extensive use of the Rust ecosystem: `serde`, `rayon`, `nalegbra` with SIMD speed-up. The big challenge is to analyse the results, for which we have added a novel events tracking method, using an encoding inspired from RISC-V 32-bit instruction encoding. This enables to group signals together based on various criteria and understand the effects underlying the detected photons histogram. A Domain Specific Language (DSL) was developed with `chumsky` to faciliate filtering based on an intuitive script."
"I am a PhD student at University of Edinburgh, investigating Multispectral LIDAR. Previously worked as a RISC-V CPU design engineer at Codasip and a firmware engineer at Hypervolt. Now trying to bring some of this knowledge together."- Second talk to be announced ...
This time we'll be trying out hosting provided by the Edinburgh Community Rooms project at Patersons Land (no slant against our previous company hosts, who are still much appreciated, it's just good to mix things up occasionally 😀).
Plan for the evening:
- 18:30: doors open
- 19:00 → 20:00: talks + q/a
- 20:00: move for drinks 🍻 to Holyrood 9A, where we have a table booked (this is nearby Patersons Land)
