Rust Berlin Talks: The next generation
Hello everyone,
After a great restart last month, we’re happy to invite you to the next Rust Berlin meetup at the JetBrains office.
We’ll stick to the classic format: an evening with two main talks, followed by time to connect, discuss, and catch up with the community. Finger food and drinks will be available throughout the evening.
**Agenda**
* Doors open: 18:30
* Start: 19:00
* Short welcome and updates from JetBrains
* 2 talks (20–30 minutes each)
* Open mic / lightning talks (optional, a few minutes each)
* Networking
**Speakers**
Egor Lebedev - Welcome and a short note from the RustRover team
Till Adam - Slint-MCP
In this talk, Till will walk you through the implementation of the MCP server for the Slint GUI framework - and how it's implemented in Rust. He will walk you through the implementation from design to implementation.
Gaurav Gahlot - Rust meets Kubernetes
This talk is a hands-on walkthrough using kube-rs. We'll connect to a cluster, query pods, watch real-time events via async streams, and build a minimal controller - all in Rust, all running live.
**Speaker Bios**
Till Adam is the CCO at KDAB and has been working on open-source since the 90s. Originally a C++ company, KDAB has been working with Rust for the last 8 years. One of their biggest projects is CXX-Qt. Their specialization on the Rust side is use in hybrid, high-performance, high-correctness codebases.
Gaurav Gahlot is a Software Engineer with experience building scalable platforms with Go, Rust, and Kubernetes. He maintains the CNCF Akri project and actively contributes to open source.
**Open mic & future talks**
We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional.
If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers.
**Venue & access**
Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening.
**Registration**
The venue has limited capacity and events typically fill up with a waiting list. If you register and can no longer attend, even at short notice, please un-RSVP so someone else can take your spot.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Episode 1 of the 2026 Edition - A dance into the May!
Dear Kotlineers,
After a slightly longer break than planned - we are back! This time we meet in the chambers of **voize GmbH** \- one of Berlin's \(if not the\) most flourishing startups\.
As the flowers open and the days stretch long, we're dancing into May with some talks.
**Line-Up:**
👉 **Coroutines behind the scenes**
by *Sergey Shkurov*
Have you ever wondered how Kotlin coroutines actually work under the hood? In this talk, we dive into the JVM bytecode behind suspend functions and reconstruct the state machines step by step. You’ll follow a hands-on exploration of real compiled code and see how continuations and suspension actually work.
👉 **YOUR TOPIC HERE**
by *TBD*
**Speaker Bios:**
🗣 *Sergey Shkurov*
A Kotlin enthusiast since 2019.

**Referent:** Martin Boßlet, Berater, Dozent und Softwareentwickler
**Datum und Uhrzeit:** Donnerstag, 30.04.2026, 18:00 – ca. 19:30 Uhr
**Ort:** Online mit Zoom
Seit zwei Jahren reden alle über KI-gestützte Entwicklung - und vieles klingt gleich: Gestern war Prompt Engineering der Beruf der Zukunft, heute ist es Context Engineering. Claude Code gegen Codex, GitHub Copilot vs. Cursor, Tool-Vergleiche hier und da. Die Älteren unter uns werden sich mit einem Schmunzeln an Vim vs. Emacs erinnert fühlen. Während CEOs bis hin zum Digitalminister den Untergang der programmierenden Zunft ausrufen, wenden sich viele Entwickelnde frustriert ab. "Das ist nichts für mich" - diesen Satz hört man oft. Die Branche scheint sich in zwei Lager zu spalten: auf der einen Seite diejenigen, die KI fast schon aus Trotz konsequent ablehnen, auf der anderen KI-Propheten, die zumindest der Erzählung nach ihren kompletten Alltag mit KI bestreiten und der Konkurrenz schon längst meilenweit voraus sind.
Die eigentliche Frage lautet: Warum gehen die Erfahrungen so weit auseinander? Die These dieses Vortrags: Der Engpass liegt meist weder im Modell noch im nächsten "Tool du jour", sondern in fehlendem, verstreutem oder nur implizit vorhandenem Kontext. Der Schlüssel zu erfolgreicher KI-Zusammenarbeit liegt deshalb nicht in besseren Tools oder clevereren Prompts, sondern in der ältesten Technologie der Menschheit - Sprache. Genauer gesagt: in Markdown als universeller Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine.
Anhand von Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), Mermaid-Diagrammen, **[AGENTS.md](https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=http%3A%2F%2FAGENTS%2Emd&urlhash=jh-H&mt=F7bnie71WnYrGR3aD-BiSMeaQCiWniKDxaG65SbBgq37lq5u7OZ1P6NjRp-YTlrvhyBy30Lf47AWfYCmtVLwNg99MBUc-2e8qYUzQLXNViKKD4LeW5gizS3yWw&isSdui=true)**-Datei und Agenten-Skills zeige ich, warum Text-First Development kein Retro-Trick ist, sondern ein praktikables Arbeitsmodell für die KI-Ära. Wer Architektur, Entscheidungen und Konventionen in Text statt in Tickets, Chat-Verläufen oder auch nur an der Kaffeemaschine festhält, bekommt bessere KI-Ergebnisse, mehr Präzision und weniger Nacharbeit. Und ganz nebenbei entsteht endlich wieder etwas, das in der Softwareentwicklung jahrzehntelang zu teuer war: aktuelle, brauchbare Dokumentation für Mensch und Maschine.
Kein Talk über Prompt-Hacks, Tool-Vergleiche oder das Tool der Woche, sondern über eine einfache, praktische Frage: Wie müssen wir Software bauen, damit KI-Unterstützung nicht nur beeindruckend wirkt, sondern dauerhaft nützt? Die Antwort ist überraschend einfach: kein Tool-Zirkus, kein Hokuspokus. Einfach nur Text.

Jhana Meditation for Beginners
The course will start this Saturday at 10am. It will be in studio R at CCB studios. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46). Buzz for CCB studios and then walk through to the second courtyard. We will try to start right around 10. There will be tea available.
Please dress in comfortable clothes, maybe wearing a few layers. Theres some blankets, yoga mats, cushions and chairs in the room that you can use.
The plan will be for us to do some small discussions at the top and then start discussing theory before doing some meditations of increasing length and then closing with some time for Q & A. We will take a short break in the middle as well. The plan is to go from 10-12 roughly but we may end a little closer to 11:30 depending.
This week will function primarily as a simple introduction to meditation and some topics in the space but we will also discuss what the Jhanas are.
Looking forward! Any questions please just message me.
Steam Engine & Sandstone Peaks: Kurort Oybin Adventure 🚂⛰️
Hey everyone! 🙌
Ready for a journey back in time?
This Saturday, we’re heading to the far southeastern corner of Saxony to explore the Zittauer Gebirge (Zittau Mountains). This trip is a double-feature: a ride on a historic steam locomotive followed by a hike through the dramatic sandstone ruins of Kurort Oybin.
**📍 Meeting Point:** Berlin Hbf
**📆 Date:** Saturday, 2nd of May
**🕣 Time:** 07:10 AM (sharp! We have a long journey ahead)
**🗺️ Tour Link:** [Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/tour/828005223) (approx. 7km, difficulty: hard)
**The Experience**
We’ll start our adventure by hopping onto the Zittauer Schmalspurbahn, a narrow-gauge railway that has been puffing through these mountains since 1890. Expect soot in the air, the iconic "choo-choo" whistle, and open-air wagons that offer the best views of the forest.
Once we reach Kurort Oybin, our adventure begins! We’ll be trekking through the heart of the Zittauer Gebirge on a loop that hits all the heavy hitters. We’ll marvel at the gravity-defying Kelchstein (Chalice Rock), pass through the iconic Felsentor (Rock Gate), and climb up to the Töpfer plateau.
We’ll wander through narrow rock crevices and enjoy panoramic views over to the Czech Republic before heading back.
