Rust for The Curious C++ Developers
Victor Ciura
What is it like to come to Rust from C++? What are the gaps, the needs, the gems and the tools you should know about? Where is my favorite C++ feature in Rust? What are the idiomatic parallels between various successful strategies and features in both these languages? What are their respective strengths?
From guidelines, to opinionated best practices, to established idioms, there’s a lot of good information easily available. Mixed up with all of this there are also a bunch of myths. In this presentation, I will dissect a few impactful ones for the audience.
What have we learned and can bring back to day-to-day C++?
