*** Full-Length Talk: Demystifying unsafe code by Jon Gjengset (@jonhoo)***
Unsafe code is something we, as Rust programmers, have a complicated relationship with. Some shrug it off as "it's fine, it's just C", while others declare any use of unsafe as irresponsible & a strike against any code that uses it. Many of us sit somewhere in between, often because we are unsure what this unsafe thing even really is. Is it truly as disasterous as some say, or is it really just harmless & overblown as others claim? In this talk, we will explore the pages of the nomicon & take a look at what unsafe really means, why it is dangerous, why it is sometimes useful nonetheless, & how to deal with it responsibly.
*** Lighting Talk: Building Holochain Applications with Rust ***
I will introduce Holochain, the development kit (HDK), & demo some applications that have been built on Holochain with Rust. Id like this talk to spark interest & project ideas, & foster opportunities to collaborate on building Holochain applications using Rust.
*** Materialize: a Streaming Data Warehouse in Rust ***
For just about one year now we at Materialize have been building a real-time SQL engine in Rust, layered over timely dataflow & differential dataflow. We've made a fair bit of progress, & it is a great time for a quick check-in. We'll do a quick review of the features, call out some neat Rust moments, & possibly squeeze in a demo.
Frank McSherry is Chief Scientist at Materialize, where he & others build streaming compute infrastructure. He has previously worked at ETH Zrich & Microsoft Research, where he (with others) invented things like timely & differential dataflow, & differential privacy. His laptop is a persistent bugbear to the graph systems research community.
