Designed as a language that can solve hard problems, Rust released their 1.0 in 2015. Subsequently it was voted the Most Loved Language in 2016, 2017 and 2018 on the developer's survey of StackOverflow. Firefox Quantum made Firefox over twice as fast by rebuilding the core engine in Rust. It compiles to everything from WebAssembly to Arduino Nano. In this workshop you'll start to understand why Rust can promise thread safety without segfaults while keeping higher levels of abstraction and blazingly fast execution. Topics coveredIn this workshop we'll go from installing Rust to working with some Rust concepts. The idea is to inspire further experimentation and give an idea of what Rust can do for you.
