If you struggle with the complexities of concurrent programming, this talk is for you!

Motoyuki Kimura (Software Engineer at CyberAgent) will introduce Loom, a testing tool for concurrent Rust programs. Loom helps detect subtle bugs by exploring all possible execution permutations of a concurrent program. It achieves this goal using model-checking techniques.

Motoyuki will show us how to use Loom and also dive into the underlying model-checking techniques.

How does an async runtime work? And more importantly, why bother with async at all? Is it worth the trouble and added complexity?

Async is arguably one of Rust's most complex and least understood features. As a wise man once said: "Async Rust is Rust on hard mode".

Eylon Levi will be our guide through this maze. In the process of writing a small async runtime, he'll help you explore and learn the inner workings of the system. This way, you will truly understand how async works, and will be able to use it confidently in your own code when you need to.
