Hi all, Where: GoLUG Online: https://meet.jit.si/golug When: Wednesday, 3/4/2026 7pm sharp Eastern STANDARD time Arrive at 6:45pm for Microphone check & discussion Who: Steve Litt, Troubleshooter, Developer, Tech Writer What: Find out for yourself about Rust It's coming. You've seen it. You've heard of Rust. You've seen the evangelism. You've heard the skepticism. At the next GoLUG meeting, you get to decide for yourself. Using the Rust compiler as your instructor, you'll derive a Rust Hello World, go on to numeric and string manipulation, data structures, branching, looping, command line argument handling, and multi-file projects. The pace will geared to people who have never touched Rust, but have written a program in some language, including Bash or Powerscript, as well as the usual suspects such as C, Python, Javascript etc. Time permitting, after that we'll take a quick AI dip into the things that make Rust special, so that you'll recognize what techniques to use when, and be able to read other peoples' Rust code. If you want to code along with the presentation, and this is recommended although not necessary, install Rust on your computer before the presentation. It's very easy to install on most Linux distros, and I assume on Windows, Mac, and BSD also. Hope to see you there. SteveT Steve Litt GoLUG Publicity Coordinator
