Tytuł: Od strachu do Ferrisa: Migracja do Rusta bez (przesadnego) bólu
Rust jest często przedstawiany jako język, który rozwiązuje wiele problemów, takich jak bezpieczeństwo pamięci, wydajność i niezawodność. Jednak wdrożenie go w rzeczywistym, działającym już systemie to zupełnie inne wyzwanie.

W tej prelekcji podzielę się praktyczną historią migracji do Rusta. Skupię się na rzeczywistych decyzjach inżynierskich, a nie na teorii. Pokażę, jak wprowadzaliśmy Rusta krok po kroku, jak integrowaliśmy go z istniejącym stosem technologicznym oraz co zadziałało dobrze, a co nie.

EN 🇬🇧:
Rust Meets Bydgoszcz!

We are thrilled to bring the Rust conversation to Bydgoszcz, hosted at the innovative SoftBlue headquarters (ul. Gdańska 108).

This event is a collaborative effort with Bydgoszcz IT, uniting the city’s top tech communities under one roof.
- Bydgoszcz Java User Group
- Bydgoszcz .NET User Group
- Data Community Bydgoszcz & Toruń
- ŁuczniczQA Bydgoska Społeczność Testerska
- PyData Bydgoszcz
- PHPers Bydgoszcz

Our goal is simple: to connect aspiring developers, seasoned engineers and all those who want to learn about Rust Programming language and demystify the technology that is reshaping the industry.

Agenda

🎤 Rafał Draws
🛠️ Software Engineer @ Nordea Bank
Title: Introduction to Rust programming language

This session offers a solid, fundamental introduction to the Rust programming language, designed to ensure memory safety and high performance without the need for a Garbage Collector. Attendees will learn the key concepts that distinguish Rust from other system languages and make it an ideal choice for building reliable and efficient software.

• Genesis and Introduction: A brief history of Rust, its main goals, and common applications (operating systems, CLI tools, WebAssembly, embedded systems, etc.).
• Memory Safety Core: An explanation of the foundational concept of Ownership. How Borrowing and Lifetimes mechanisms eliminate segmentation faults and data races at compile time.
• The Type System: Discussing Rust's strong type system, including struct and enum types, with a focus on Option and Result as the idiomatic way to handle errors and optional values safely and explicitly.
• Cargo: An introduction to the essential tool in the Rust ecosystem - Cargo (the package manager and build system).

Title: From Fear to Ferris: Migrating to Rust Without (Too Much) Pain
Rust is often presented as a language that solves many problems like memory safety, performance, and reliability. Adopting it in a real, already running system is a very different challenge.
In this talk, I will share a practical Rust migration story. The focus is on real engineering decisions, not theory. I will show how Rust was introduced step by step, how it was integrated with an existing technology stack, and what worked well and what did not.
The talk covers:

• when migrating to Rust makes sense and when it does not
• which parts of a system are good candidates for the first Rust component
• common pitfalls when mixing Rust with other languages, including FFI, build systems, and deployment
• the measurable results of the migration, including performance, stability, and developer confidence

Why Join Us?

• Networking: Connect with the Bydgoszcz IT community and fellow Rustaceans!
• Knowledge: High-level technical insights.
• Venue: Experience the SoftBlue office atmosphere.
