What we’re about
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.

NuShell: Super glue for your operating system
NuShell is a fairly new type of shell focused on functional structured data processing. It fixes most problems of the traditional POSIX shellls and takes inspiration from PowerShell and real programming languages.
I have been a daily user of Nu shell for almost a year and would like to share with you how it can improve your efficiency as a script user, scientist, engineer or developer. Nu shell allows you to process all kinds of data in clean pipelines and build easy to maintain scripts.
The plan for this evening is:
- 19:30: interactive presentation about nu
- 20:30 practice session
You can find more information about the language at nushell.sh. Recently, I also released a linter for Nu at https://github.com/wvhulle/nu-lint.

Intro to DBus
Hackerspace Gent, Wiedauwkaai 51, Gent, BEWhile many people using Linux desktop will argue over Desktop Environment (Gnome vs KDE vs Tiling Window Managers) or X11 vs Wayland, there is one thing everyone agrees on: DBus. But what is DBus? Where did it come from? What does it do? More importantly, what does it enable? And how can you use it to help make the Linux desktop experience even better?
In this talk I will reveal all the answers to the above questions and show some cool demos that will inspire you to learn more about this extremely powerful technology - warts and all.Presented by Ewan Higgs.
Important: The location is a little bit hidden, please read the instructions at hackerspace.gent to find the entrance.
