In this talk, I will walk you through the debugging of a problem I had in one of my early Rust projects: An emulator of the classic console Space Invaders. The problem, related to the borrow checker, is a great example for beginners with experience in other languages. You'll get to learn how the borrow checker works and idioms for common operations.

This talk is about a graph mining project I worked on recently and how I ended up learning Rust to implement the task. I'll compare my experience coding in Rust with my previous attempts using Python and Java for the same task. I'll end by talking about some of the cool things I've learned about Rust and the wonderful community around it.

This talk is targeted at programmers with experience in other languages but who are new to Rust. We will start with a quick introduction to structs and traits, then look at how we can use structs, traits, and generics to build abstractions and write better code without sacrificing performance.

This talk is about the Kahan summation. Mark describes how he implemented a generic Kahan summer in Rust, and how he extended all iterators over floats to support a new kahan_sum method.
