Rust Forum
Discover Rust: one of the world's most versatile and exciting programming languages.
Since its creation in 2006, Rust has enjoyed a rapid growth both in terms of usage and maturity. A mere 7 years on from the language's v1.0, Rust is being used in production by both the world's largest companies and emerging brands in Fin-tech, Machine Learning, Distributed Systems, Cloud Native Infrastructure, Embedded Systems (IOT) and a host of others.
Rust offers memory safety, speed, tooling, concurrent programming, backwards compatibility, and perhaps most importantly, a growing global community of Rustaceans. (For the sixth year in a row Rust ranked as the most loved programming language in Stack Overflow's annual Developer Survey.)
Join us at the Rust Forum for 4 keynotes exploring what's now and what's next in Rust.
Come discover why companies like Meta, Google, Amazon AWS, Huawei, ARM, Dropbox are all using this increasingly popular language in production.

Every programming language uses either a garbage collector or lets you handle memory freely. Rust introduces a whole new approach: Ownership. Rust Ownership and Borrowing model combines the safety of a garbage collected language with the speed of a language like C that lets you handle the memory freely. In this talk, we will see how it works in practice. Then we will investigate why this is an essential concept of the language. This talk is for developers with no prior knowledge of Rust.
