Rust Poland

# Are We Capital Yet ? 🇵🇱

We're excited to bring the Rust conversation to Warsaw, hosted at H40S on Marszałkowska, supported by the Rust Poland community.

Agenda

When AI Writes the Code, Where Does It Live?
Files are a human organizational artifact from the 1970s. We're entering an era where AI writes most code — and AI doesn't need files, directories, or import paths. It needs addressable, typed, testable, instantly-deployable units of computation. This talk explores what programming looks like when you throw away the filesystem and store code as structured data in a database — through the lens of Rust, functional programming, and a live demo of a system that eats its own dog food.

🎤 Michał Szulczewski
Rust Future Cancellation and Its Gotchas
Cancellation of Rust futures is usually implicit and often appears harmless. However, in real-world scenarios, especially in distributed systems, it can lead to subtle bugs such as partially updated state and violated invariants. This talk introduces the fundamentals of Rust async execution, explaining why futures support Poll and completion semantics but not explicit cancellation. Through a concrete example, we demonstrate how premature dropping of futures can produce inconsistent system state. We then discuss practical mitigation strategies, including structured abortion and explicit cleanup patterns without relying on async drop. Finally, we review ongoing discussions and proposals around future cancellation in the Rust ecosystem. Attendees will leave with a clearer mental model of cancellation semantics and actionable patterns for writing more robust async Rust code.

🎤 Lightining Talks till the late night!
