Tues, October 20 – Bare Metal Rust on Embedded ARM Cortex

When: 6:00 pm | Where: 1250 Stephenson Highway, Suite 200, Troy, MI

It was suggested that we do a group project, of sufficient complexity, and work on the various portions of it in an iterative manner.  I think that is a fantastic idea, and would like to kick-off just such a project at this Meetup!

For Software and System Engineers who desire the machine control and speed of C, but have always wished for a way to use Scala’s functional programming paradigms, without the heavy runtime. Real-time meets functional. This is a Rust that Detroit shouldn’t fear. The language of the future is here now.

When: 1:00 – 4:00 pm | Where: Detroit Library – 5201 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI
