What we’re about
Rust Dortmund (recordings available on YouTube) is a local meetup for individuals working with Rust or eager to learn the Language. We welcome beginners, students, and seasoned developers from all fields. Most attendees are bilingual in English and German.
Rust is a young, multi-purpose programming language. It combines the freedom of C/C++ with better tooling than in the TypeScript and Python stack, and memory safety, plus data-race protection, which is checked at compile time.
To highlight its multi-purpose nature, Rust is used for web backends, runs parts of the AWS infrastructure, has become part of the Linux and Windows kernels, and is finding increasing adoption in industries such as automotive and aerospace.
We encourage you to nerd out and showcase your projects, give talks to each other exploring the constantly evolving Rust Ecosystem, and are certain you'll have exciting chats.
