Rust Concurrency
New languages often carry an operational burden to deployment and involve tradeoffs of performance for safety. Rust has emerged as a powerful, popular, and increasingly widely-used language for all types of development. Come learn why Rust is entering the Linux kernel and Microsoft and Google are favoring it for new development over C++.
A big part of this interest is how it turns runtime errors into compile time errors that make it easier for developers to take advantage of multicore systems.
