[Presentation] Why is Rust a good language for tying systems together #3

This proposed presentation would cover valuable features of the Rust programming language with a particular focus on how those features benefit complex system integration. There would be a high level description of the features with some example code snippets, but we would not go into enough detail to actually teach how to be a Rust programmer.

Here is a rough outline of the Rust features that would be covered:

Memory safety
Performance
Clean error handling
Robust dependency management
Cross-platform support (Windows, MacOS, Linux, embedded systems, and even web)
Wide availability of middleware support (e.g. REST, websockets, Zenoh, DDS, mqtt, ROS2)

We'll also be happy to field questions afterwards.

Hi @mxgrey, looking forward to the talk. Just to clarify, the presentation will be on Dec 11 as stated in discourse post, right?

In the agenda, it is listed as Dec 7 https://github.com/osrf-sig-interoperability/community/blob/main/agenda/2023-12-07

Whoops, the title had a typo in it 🤦

The calendar link and agenda are correct: it's today, December 7.

I can only assume my fingers typed 11 because it rhymes with 7.

Thanks for the clarification on the Rust to C++, I managed to find the following resources.
