Keynote - Rust: confident, productive systems programming by Aaron Turon

Aaron Turon explains Rust's core concept of ownership and how it guarantees memory and thread safety without a garbage collector.

This video was recorded at Scala Days Chicago 2017 Follow us on Twitter @ScalaDays or visit our website for more information scaladays.org Abstract: Rust is a language with a new vision of systems programming. It gives you low-level control and predictability but also provides the safety and ergonomics of languages like Scala. The secret sauce is Rust's core notion of "ownership", which enables: - Memory safety without garbage collection. - Concurrency without data races. - Abstraction without overhead. In this talk, I'll explain ownership and show how Rust uses it to guarantee thread safety, amongst other things. I'll say a bit about integrating Rust code with other languages. And I'll also cover some of the lessons the Rust community has learned in how to do open, consensus-driven language evolution, so that we also achieve: - Stability without stagnation.
