Rust for Mobile Developers
Unconference-Rountable
Swift, Kotlin and Dart give us expressive, productive environments for building apps, but developers increasingly benefit from working across languages and platforms.
Rust is increasingly well established across a range of areas including servers, command-line tools, WebAssembly and embedded systems.
In this roundtable, we’ll compare notes on learning and using Rust from different backgrounds, including iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native.
No Rust experience is required. Bring your questions, or just come to listen and learn.
If you’ve tried Rust, share your experience. We’ll explore what feels familiar — strong typing, expressive types, package management and modern tooling — and what feels different, particularly Rust’s approach to memory management.
Have you used Rust in mobile development? Let’s discuss when sharing Rust code across platforms makes sense and how it compares to Kotlin Multiplatform.
