Hi/Hej! By any chance other beginners here from Skåne, Sweden? Anyone interested in some kind of study circle (studiecirkel) on Rust? I mainly try to learn JavaScript (student) but I am interested in Rust and want to learn more. Over, out. /Claes-Magnus

I've recently moved to Stockholm. 
It's not Skåne, but it'd be nice to meet with other Rust programmers.
Gah! Too bad! Otherwise we could've meet and taught each other Rust!
You're from Budapest!? Beautiful town. Big welcome to Sweden!

Yep, I'm from Budapest.
Anyhow, Skåne is only a few hours by train, so still not impossible to arrange something a few times. 
True!
What do you do in Stockholm btw? Why Rust? I'm a frontend student - had a hard time finding jobs with my previous degree and finally decided to re-school to programmer. One of my best decisions ever: I LOVE PROGRAMMING! I got the advice that another lang could help be to be a better JavaScripter and since Rust is not totally foreign to frontend (WebAssembly) I thought, hey great! And it's so much fun... BUT I MUST WARN YOU: I am VERY MUCH a beginner in Rust, don't have the time to make quick progress (trying to be a good student)
Well, my Rust/programming story is kinda weird... I used to be a design engineer, but had an arm injury so I can't draw on paper anymore. I started digital arts and wanted to contribute back to some OSS so I started learning python. I've enjoyed coding so much that I switched my studies to mechatronics so I can keep my mechanical engineering courses and do some more programming. I've started to look at Rust as an alternative to C in embedded/robotics use. Aaaaand during bachalores I got a job as a software engineer. Right now I'm about to start my masters at KTH in information and network engineering while I also work at the Swedish site of the company.
Don't worry, I don't consider myself and expert either. Just good enough to finally contribute back to the rust community.

Hi people. Previous Rust meetup took time a year ago and maybe if there is anyone with real world experience willing to mentor a new event we can come together for a newbie hack night?
