Due to popular request (and some other reasons, like venue availability and available organiser capacity), we’re happy to announce that the Rust Berlin talk meetups are back. This is the classic meetup format: let’s meet in the evening see 2 speakers and then spend some idle time chatting about what we heard.

The first speaker for the first edition will be our co-organiser Florian Gilcher, speaking about “Unsafe demystified”, a gentle introduction into handing unsafe code properly.

Soares Chen will talk about the current revision of Context Generic, their framework for context generic programming: https://contextgeneric.dev

We are also available for new talks, in particular of people who never gave a public talk. We’re happy to be your first talk location.

The new meetup is currently organised by Florian and Liran, who is a new co-organiser at Rust Berlin.

JetBrains was so kind to offer us their office location as a default meeting point. Thank you!

We’re looking forward to getting the ball rolling again!

See you all on April 1st!

Line-Up

Unsafe demystified by Florian Gilcher

This is a beginner- to mid-level talk that explains the basics of unsafe and how to program it.

Instead of going fully into it all details of unsafe, this talk teaches you easy to digest mental frameworks to use when approaching your next unsafe code block.

Supercharge Rust functions with CGP implicit arguments by Soares Chen

I will give a short overview of the new implicit arguments feature for Context-Generic Programming (CGP), which enables structural typing in Rust. Some short example demos will be presented, followed by some explanation of how the feature works.
