> The Rust programming language has become a serious contender in the space of "systems" programming languages, and has recently been adopted by many of the tech giants for "serious" projects. In response to this, more companies are now considering whether they too should add Rust to their tech stack. This talk hopes to help you make that decision. We go through how the language compares to many current alternatives and what the language has to offer, but also what it's primary drawbacks are and its long-term viability prospects.

Jon has been working on a reasonably large Rust project called Noria[1], "a new streaming data-flow system designed to act as a fast storage backend for read-heavy web applications".

I found his Rust live coding sessions on YouTube[2] to be an enjoyable introduction to Rust.
