Is Women in Rust only for women?
We set up Women in Rust to foster a more inclusive and diverse Rust community by providing a dedicated space for women to connect, learn, and grow. Our online and in-person events are designed to support this mission. However, we also want to contribute to the wider Rust community, which is why all of our talks will be available to watch on YouTube Youtube after the event. We also welcome you to use our Notion Resources page, where you can find useful articles, reading materials and advice to help you on your journey in learning Rust.
