Join us for the new and improved monthly Cambridge Rust meetup, hosted at Quantinuum's office on Hill's Rd.
Speaker: Jacob Araiza
Originally trained as a mechanical engineer, Jacob pivoted to software engineering and has been using Rust for personal projects for nearly a decade. Professionally, he works as a cybersecurity software engineer—first at Darktrace for six years, now at PA Consulting—building Cross Domain Systems primarily in Rust, with experience in C++, Python, and blockchain along the way.
In his spare time, he enjoys writing compilers, long-distance running, and serving as an Army reservist.
Topic: The Ultimate Guide to Rust Errors
Rust’s approach to error handling is powerful but can be tricky to get right. In this talk, we’ll cover a practical guide to handling errors effectively in Rust.
We’ll start with a quick overview of Rust’s two types of errors—`panic!` and `Result`—then walk through useful types, crates, and common patterns for managing errors. The session will wrap up with some opinionated best practices based on years of experience, focusing on which patterns work best in different scenarios.
