What we’re about
Rust is growing, increasingly powered by its many and varied application areas. This group is about catering to the interests of people who just want to apply it, as well as those who want to learn more about the core language itself.
For a taste of what to expect, see some of our past talks (YouTube / main website), but also see areas we'll hope to cover, like Gaming / Web / ML/AI / Data / Guis.
We believe the Rust language and community can benefit anyone regardless of their level of ability or prior experience. "Rust and Friends" is a local / online Meetup intended to help us achieve that goal. We also have a #rust channel on the Scottish Technology Club Discord server.
For all meetings and interactions we follow Rust Lang Code of Conduct.
