In the last years, Rust has become a popular programming language. Many use it, even more are eager to learn it. Linz has meetups for many programming languages, but Rust has been missing - and that is about to change.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of a Rust meetup in Linz.
The goal is to bring together people who are using Rust or who are curious and want to learn about it. We invite everybody to contribute short talks about the Rust programming language or related technologies. It might be an interesting feature you discovered, a project you have been working on, a finding of yours from a real-world project, a Rust-related book that you want others to know about, anything that you want to contribute to the local Rust community is welcome. Before and after the talks there will be time for informal chatting.
Because of the current Covid-19 situation, the Rust meetup Linz will happen online in the foreseeable future. On the long run, in-person meetups with streaming of the delivered talks are planned.

Welcome to the 10TH EDITION of the RUST MEETUP LINZ. Join us for an evening of Rust with two great sessions. This time, we welcome speakers from Germany and Austria.
After a short introduction by the meetup organizers, LISA PASSING will be our first speaker at the meetup. Lisa is a Berlin-based creative technologist, artist, and researcher. Her main obsessions are playful interactions with computers and creative uses of civic tech and data. Lisa's topic will be CREATIVE RUST. Together with her, we'll take a look at some algorithms and tricks in the creative coding toolbox to get us started and use the nannou library to make them a (digital) reality.
Next up are HARALD REINGRUBER and KATHARINA UNGER from Dedalus Healthcare. Harald is passionate about visual computing, software crafting, ensemble- (a.k.a mob-)programming, and hiking on the weekends. In their company, they use Rust for medical visualization and in their talk, they will tell us why they decided to do that.

Creative RustWe use programs to automate tasks or solve specific problems for us. Too seldomly we use it to create art or simply write playful programs just for the fun of it. How do you write creative code in Rust? I'm so glad you asked! We'll take a look at some algorithms and tricks in the creative coding tool box to get you started and use the nannou library to make them a (digital) reality.

Why we use Rust for Medical VisualizationA native language like C++ is still a natural choice for real-time graphics applications and also has an established workflow for bridging code between the desktop and browser world. For revamping our old 3D rendering module, we also wanted to consider other alternatives. It was quite clear Rust offers great modern tooling and promising new concepts. But most importantly after evaluating two proof of concepts, we saw that the Rust environment is already very mature and supports all our critical requirements. Additionally, future browser features like WebGPU and WebAssembly SIMD (for CPU rendering) are first-class Rust citizens which will get interesting for us once they get production-ready. Join our experience report on why we think that Rust is a great choice for our use case and how we want to use it in the future.

Do you want to deliver a talk at the Rust meetup Linz? Great! Please enter your suggested topic in Sessionize.
If possible, talks should be delivered in English. If you are not comfortable speaking English, German is an option, too. Rust is still a rather young language. Thus, not many people consider themselves as Rust experts. Because of this, we are not just looking for deep dive content. Introductory sessions are great, too, so that beginners, students, and hobbyists have the opportunity to start their Rust journey.
You do not need to be a Rust pro to talk at our meetup! If you have something Rust-related to share that you are passionate about, we would love to have you as a speaker.
