Keynote | Ergonomic APIs for hard problems - Raph Levien

Raph Levien presents five techniques for designing clean, ergonomic APIs in Rust, drawing from his experience building GUI toolkits.

🔔 FOLLOW RUSTLAB CHANNEL 🔔 ABSTRACT: Rust is great for implementing hard problems, thanks to its combination of performance and reliability. But providing clean, beautiful APIs for that functionality can be a challenge, especially because patterns developed for other languages don’t necessarily translate to Rust. Building a UI toolkit is an especially hard problem, and the Druid architecture has evolved dramatically since the early days. The new Xilem architecture promises a powerful declarative approach, drawing on powerful features of the Rust language to provide strong static typing but also a concise and flexible interface. This talk presents five techniques that drive the GUI architecture, but are also general and likely can improve API design in other domains. This channel is dedicated to the videos of the RustLab conference. ⚙️ Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com/rustlab_conf ⚙️ Follow us on FACEBOOK: facebook.com/RustLabConference RustLab is the first Italian international conference on the Rust programming language, organized by Develer.
