What we’re about
Hi! We organize Boston-area events for enthusiasts of the Rust programming language, for every level of expertise from total beginner to seasoned Rustacean.
Rust is a user-friendly low-level programming language with a focus on security, reliability, and concurrency, while providing extreme performance in memory usage and execution speed.
We have two kinds of regular events: every week we have casual lunchtime get-togethers at a wide variety of locations in the Boston area, and once in a while we'll have a major evening event with catering and live presentations.
If you'd like to chat or get in touch with us, please join the Rust East Coast Discord server and find us in the #in-boston channel, or feel free to message the organizers here on Meetup directly.
All Boston Rust events are governed by the Rust Code of Conduct.
