Schedule: 1-Hour Free Webinar

Where: Online - Zoom Meeting

In this talk, Herbert will discuss Fearless Concurrency – one of Rust’s strongest selling points. What exactly makes concurrency scary to begin with, and how does Rust help? What are the downsides of using a garbage collected model versus a stricter model? The presentation will power through threading models, and how they can help you build fast, safe and correct solutions. We’ll discuss the differences between threading and asynchronous processing – and how each interacts with Rust’s strict, safe memory model. Finally, we’ll put the pedal to the metal – and see just how fast and lean Rust can be.

We will cover:

• What makes concurrency fearful to begin with?

• Rust Concurrency: Memory Safety, Data Race Safety – with no Garbage Collection overhead.

• Threads: System Threads, Scoped Threads and Rayon.

• Async: Concurrency for the Network

• Rust’s Memory Model and Concurrency

• Performance Testing

• Q&A
