Rust is a modern programming language designed from its inception to solve whole classes of problems that contribute to safety and security vulnerabilities. That, without sacrificing expressiveness, programmer convenience, performance and inter-operability with legacy code.
Today Rust is rapidly turning into the first choice for developing code intended to run in high performance, concurrent and safety critical environments. This is happening at all layers of the software stack including firmware, TEEs, OS kernels, web frameworks, the lot with contributions from all the usual (big) suspect organisations.
The story of the inception, design, development, evolution and uptake of Rust is a very interesting tale that sheds light on the real problems facing programming in the large in the face of today's safety and security landscape.
In this joint talk by Florian Gilcher (from Ferrous Systems and a member of the Rust language core team) and Robin Randhawa (from Arm, a long time friend of Linaro who focuses on the intersection of open source and safety) the audience will learn about the motivations and history of Rust, how it manages to do what it does and the plans for making Arm support in Rust be best in class.
