Language design, the safety-oriented memory model and the borrow-checking engine all combine to make writing concurrent applications in Rust a joy in comparison to some other popular languages.
In this talk, we'll show several examples of what developers love about building concurrent applications in Rust. This is includes:

- Lifetimes
- Various Concurrency Programming Styles
- Mutex
- Message-based
