PANEL DISCUSSION + Live Q&A
System Level Programming Languages Panel
Come to this panel to hear the story of Oxide Computing - a company that builds its systems from the ground up with Rust. We will hear why they chose Rust, information about the operating system they are building on Rust, what they've learned about Rust along the way, and where they'd like to see both Oxide and the Rust language go in the next five years.

Systems Programmers Can Have Nice Things
Tuesday May 25 / 10:10AM EDT
Systems programming presents unique challenges that differ from other areas of software development. However, some of the largest challenges of systems programming aren't inherent to the domain, but rather stem from weak programming language abstractions and overly complex tooling.In this...
