@@carter12s If we want to get started on building industrial control software, where would you recommend we get started? I would love to write software like this and get into this industry but I'm not familiar with these types of architectures. Are there any reference projects on github that you can point to that could be a good way of building out a project like this?
As someone who's worked with a "manufacturing control system" that was picked long before I came onto the company I dreamed almost everyday of building that piece of junk from the ground up. While it did a lot of the small things for us, integrating the unique cases that we needed to utilize required more and more hacking until I was forced to learn the entire system with all it's features and quirks. If I'd built it we could have at least attempted to fix the quirks instead of living with them but it was always to much of a task to attempt a full rewrite. You're an absolute madlad to take on a mission critical and massive project with a leap of faith into a new language. Cool mission, and even cooler talk. Thanks for the breakdown.
Very engaging presentation. And yes, your experience gives considerable boost to folks like me, who are heading to Rust world, with unbridled enthusiasm with a large dosage of fear! 😊
This is very cool. The system he describes is very similar to Erlang. In fact, this could have been written in Erlang, but if they had low experience with Rust, imagine with Erlang 😅
This talk could have been called Garbage Collection in Rust
🤣
That took me a moment. :-( :-)
Speaker here. Yes. You are correct, my title was 1000% wrong. I have so many regrets after reading this.
😂

Brilliant talk, and I'm still only 11 minutes in. You're an excellent, engaging speaker and your enthusiasm is infectious. :-)

What an amazing talk!
Outstanding presentation. You're selling yourselves short, sounds like an incredible team :)
That is really cool!
What a great talk! You're the Tony Robbins of rust!

Woah
