Rust 101

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents
segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. If you ask users "what's the catch",
they'll tell you about the challenging learning curve that this powerful new
tool requires.
Presented by a Mozilla Research team member who works with the Rust language
and with Servo (a browser engine written in Rust), this tutorial assumes
familiarity with basic programming concepts (loops, conditionals, functions)
but will require no prior experience with strongly typed languages, Rust, or
systems programming. You'll learn the key concepts necessary for successful
Rust programming, as well as how to continue exploring the language after LCA.
