Yes! **Ciao Ferrists!** 🦀 We are officially kicking off the **Rust Language Milan** user group with a very special guest appearance! For our first gathering, we are joining forces with our friends at **Python Milano** to explore one of the most exciting trends in modern systems programming: the interoperability between Python and Rust. If you’ve been curious about how Rust can provide "superpowers" to high-level languages, this is the event for you. *** ### 🎙️ The Talk: "Python or Rust? Yes" **Speaker:** Giacomo Barone (Co-founder & Head of Product @ hiop) When is it worth integrating Rust into your Python workflow? When is it total overkill? Giacomo will dive deep into the trade-offs of this powerful duo, sharing practical insights on how to boost performance without making your team (or your product) explode in the process. ***(Note: There is also a secondary talk by Andrea Perotti on "Trashware" and hardware refurbishment—a great topic for anyone who loves low-level tech!)*** *** ### 📍 Where & When * **Host:** buildo srl * **Address:** Via Malaga 4, Milano * **Date:** Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 * **Schedule:** * **18:30:** Doors Open & Welcome * **19:00:** Talks Start * **20:30:** Networking, Q&A, and Pizza/Drinks 🍕🍻 *** ### 🦀 About Rust Milan This is a new community for anyone in Milan interested in the Rust programming language.

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
