API World + CloudX + Dev Innovation Summit 2024

Ramnivas Laddad, Exograph, Co-Founder

Rust has been the most loved programming language for the past eight years, as highlighted by StackOverflow's developer survey. Its acclaim is backed by adoption from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Rust's blend of expressiveness, performance, safety, and fearless concurrency makes it ideal for multi-core CPUs. Additionally, Rust's ability to compile into WebAssembly enables seamless execution in browsers and edge computing environments.

Mastering Rust can be challenging, especially for developers with a background in non-system languages. Adopting Rust with the right mindset and suitable projects is crucial for a smooth transition and successful implementation.

In this talk, we will explore Rust's core principles and provide practical guidance for developers experienced in Java, TypeScript, and like languages. We will highlight projects where Rust excels, offering high value with minimal risk.
