What we're about
Let's talk Rust!
What's new in the Rust world? What ideas and projects have you been working on? Join, meet new people and discuss :)
Rust brings a breath of fresh air to the world of systems programming to make it enjoyable, fearless, and fun - yet also robust, rigorous, and safe! As Rust aims to empower everybody to do systems programming, you are welcome to participate regardless of your background and expertise.
If you have an idea or project to share, feel free to drop us a message. Of course, the format and level of sophistication is your choice - Simple is good!
See you soon! :)
Upcoming events (4+)
Let's dive into practical network programming with the protohackers exercises from protohackers.com again.
We started last event with an echo server and a JSON -RPC server for prime numbers.
The next tasks include a sort of time series database for ants, a chat server and a malicious TCP proxy. They get increasingly more difficult, for example problem 6 requires us to implement a system which collects data from sensor clients, transforming it, and forwarding it to different nodes.
We'll be using the Tokio crate and its friends for these.
We'll see how far we get, as these challenges are not easy, but I can promise you we'll all learn something. If you have no previous experience with Rust or Tokio, feel free to come along, it'll be fun (they said)!
I hope we can arrange to do this in a loose mob coding manner, so it would be great if you could have a recent Rust toolchain ready. I will provide a testing server and gitpod instance.
We'll take a break at 12, at least. 4h is just a suggestion, we might go longer...
We'll meet at meet.jit.si/rust-nbg as always (just meetup won't let me set the link again)
Looking forward,
Rafael

Hey fellow worshippers of The Crab 🦀,
Let's meet again (in real life! With food!) to discuss the latest community drama/RFC/nightly feature/favourite type/borrow checker error message.
We can walk'n'talk or go to a cafe or similar, I'm open to ideas here. Let me know what you think!
Please only accept the invitation if you are really planning to attend.
We will create a (temporary!) WhatsApp group or Matrix Space at some point to discuss details.
Looking forward to meeting some of you (again)!
