Introduction to the Rust programming language

David Nam presents:

As “the new hotness on the block” Rust challenges the decades of dominance of other high performance programming languages like C and its derivatives. A systems programming language designed around performance, safety, and concurrency, Rust focuses on enabling developers to write safe and efficient code while preventing common programming errors, particularly those related to memory management (a major pitfall for C programming). This presentation will focus on these key aspects of why Rust is so powerful, how it is designed to be integrated seamlessly with other high-performance programming languages, and why it is becoming such a popular choice amongst developers.
