Lunch & Learn: What the heck are monads - and how do we fake them in Rust
Details
Monads are one of the most talked‑about (and arguably most misunderstood) abstractions in functional programming. Rust borrows the most useful patterns from the functional paradigm and grounds them in practicality. This talk aims to give Rust developers an accessible introduction to what monads are, how they are linked to “abstract nonsense” (aka category theory), why they appear in programming, and how Rust’s everyday patterns relate to them.

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.
