Brian Heise (Fullstack Developer at Liferay) talks about everything you might want to know about web dev in Rust, from the perspective of a newcomer to the language. Watch to learn about the benefits, disadvantages, and unique aspects Rust has when it comes to building web apps - both frontend and backend.

Special thanks to:

Isograph is a framework for building React apps powered by GraphQL data. It makes heavy use of a compiler and of generated files to give developers a great experience building apps that are stable and performant out of the box. Developers write components and the data they need - Isograph takes care of the rest.

Robert Balicki (engineer at Pinterest) will talk about how Isograph works, with a focus on how the compiler is implemented.

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.
