Alex Crichton introduces Rust, explaining how its type system guarantees memory and thread safety without a garbage collector.

Google Tech Talk June 6, 2015 (click "show more" for more information) Presented by Alex Crichton ABSTRACT Rust is an exciting new programming language that combines fine-grained control over memory layout and allocation patterns with memory and thread safety. It reached 1.0 in May and is rapidly gaining acceptance in projects including Servo (Mozilla's next generation parallel layout engine), a block store being developed by Dropbox, and numerous startups. Its features include zero-cost abstractions, move semantics, guaranteed memory safety, threads without data races, trait-based generics, pattern matching, type inference, minimal runtime, and efficient C bindings. ‚Alex Crichton will present an introduction to the Rust programming language, explain how it can be used to build performant, reliable systems, and answer your questions. Speaker Info: Alex Crichton ‚About the speaker: Alex Crichton is a member of the Rust core team working at Mozilla Research. He focuses on the standard library, Cargo, crates.io, and Rust's tooling and infrastructure experience. He's been at Mozilla for almost two years and graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2013 with a BS in both Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.

On “"Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?": July 2016 Update”

…ta. If a "new" programmer introduce new functions that work on that data he could easily screw things up. In Rust this cannot happen, because the typesystem does not allow to misuse data in that way, either the data structure is not "ready" to be used in a concurrent fashion or use concurrent "ready" data structures the wrong way. some talks: link to this video link to this video (old thread creation syntax) link to this video…

On “Rust is going through puberty”

Fair enough. I think I have found sufficient evidence. 1. Please see this talk by Alex Crichton: link to this video . He says "Another question that I get a lot is 'Should I be using Rust right now?' and my answer is '*yes!*', i think *everyone shall be using Rust*. Some reasons i will give behind that are..." 2. And this talk (also happened to be by Alex Crichton): link to this video . He says "... zero-cost abstractions. What this basically means is something that at compile-time you can have this very nice interface, it's very easy to use, it's very fluent to use, but it all optimizes away to nothing." I think that's exactly what I was talking about. The first passage implies that Rust is as easy as the ea…
