The Chaos Communication Congress is around the corner (27th to 30th of December in Hamburg) and we'd like, as we did on Chaos Communication Camp, to run a small assembly together with the fine people from RubyTown.
For supporting the application by registering yourself as a member of the assembly, follow this instruction. Please only do so if you are planning to attend! (as 32C3 goes, this does not mean that you need a ticket yet! There are none on sale.)
I'm in! At 31C3 I mostly got blank stares from the Tor devs when talking about Rust. I'd love to help provide a nice place for introducing it to people building security + performance sensitive infrastructure.
Maybe also for the first compiled language.
I personally think, that if I would now start with C/C++, I would be able to produce less buggy code---after hours of borrow-checker wrestling.
That matches with my experience. I expected a lot of people to raise hands when I said "BTW, I'm at 31C3, let's talk Rust!". (I was sitting in RubyTown, setting up a FreeBSD notebook with Rust (a thing I'm going to continue there)
No hands raised. Compare to going to a Ruby conference, people come in swarms.
Great initiative! Also, thanks for linking to the Code of Conducts. I consider the friendly and welcoming community of the main attractions. I might be attending this year, but I'll need to sort out my schedule first
Would it be in poor taste to call it a memory safe space?
I'll definitly be there and would love to join the Rust assembly.
If you guys need help setting up the assembly and stuff I'll arrive at the congress on the 25th already and will do anything I can to help
