About us
We aim to bring systems programming enthusiasts together by organizing not-for-profit events in Ghent and the surrounding area.
A systems programmer is someone who does systems programming. According to Wikipedia: ... systems programming aims to produce software and software platforms which provide services to other software, are performance constrained, or both.
In this group you can expect informal gatherings like:
- Socials: relax after a long day at work and chat with like-minded people. If you are too exhausted to think, no worries, no-one will judge. The primary location will be cafe/restaurant Marengo next to Coupure in Ghent.
- Presentations: exciting tools and frameworks in programming languages that give a combination of performance and expressiveness. For example, Rust or C++, but other topics are welcome.
- Workshops: hands-on, goal-directed practical learning.

Making Git easier to use with JJ
A few months ago people in this community were interested in learning more about JJ, the version control system. I took the time to use it on a daily basis for several weeks and will try to give a practical introduction to this.
Please bring your laptop!
For those that don't know JJ yet: it is basically Git, but with stable commit references that don't change across rebases.
It is also compatible with existing Git projects, so you don't need to ask your team to change their workflow.
For more information, see the official docs at Github. For experienced Git users I recommend to take a look at their CLI reference docs directly.
The lecture/workshop will be hands-on. Please bring your laptop to try out some commands yourself and solve challenges.
Afterwards, let's go have a drink.
See you there!
