DESCRIPTION:Rust is a modern systems programming language. It offers high p
 erformance and low-level control of memory\, making it suitable for applic
 ations such as operating systems\, web browsers\, databases\,  games for e
 xample. It is memory safe and guarantees data race freedom\, meaning it of
 fers huge security advantages over other languages in the systems domain. 
 The language and tooling are expressive\, ergonomic\, and sound\; meaning 
 higher productivity.\n\nThis talk will give an introduction and overview o
 f the language and its applications\, outline current developments\, and d
 iscuss some of the interesting corners of the language found when using Ru
 st for large\, real-world projects.\n\nhttps://www.rust-lang.org/\n\nBio:\
 nNick Cameron is a principal engineer at Microsoft working on Rust. He hel
 ped develop Rust at Mozilla through the 1.0 release and 2018 edition. He w
 as a member of the Rust core team and has contributed to its language desi
 gn\, compiler\, tools\, and project governance. He has worked on distribut
 ed databases at PingCAP\, and layout and rendering in Firefox at Mozilla. 
 He has a PhD in type systems from Imperial College London.\n\n\nThis talk
