STL Rust

Two teams at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsvile have been using Rust for the first time these last two semesters. They will share what they built and their Rust experiences both positive and negative.

John Aughey, a new member to our ever growing group will talk on the web framework Leptos. Come with questions.

Want to master concurrency in Rust and build services that are rock-solid and easy to monitor? Come join the STL Rust meetup in July! Nathan will dive into the steady_state crate—an actor-based framework that simplifies complex systems with features like automatic fault recovery, real-time telemetry at 25fps, and Prometheus integration. Whether you’re into robotics, IoT, or distributed apps, you’ll learn why this crate’s high performance, extensible design, and guaranteed message delivery make it a game-changer—and how to use it to keep your Rust projects flowing like a Roman aqueduct. Don’t miss it!

We will explore macros in Rust by covering classic macro examples from the alien world of Lisp, and finish by grounding ourselves with more practical derive macros.
