Rust – the programming language

Since my childhold, I love software development and here I share my knowledge about programming, design patterns etc. I started with C/C++ and did a journey through chemical engineering and many programming languages as: Java C#, Python and PHP. Today I prefer to develop with the programming language Rust.

Short video about what we can do with Rust!

Rust is becoming a gamechanger for system programming languages because of its security guarantees and very good performance. Its advantages are:

  • 70% less security releated bugs, Source.
  • Geringere Komplexität als C++.
  • The same performance as C++, Source.
  • This means responsiveness for a better user experience and greater security.

Besides that, new chances for software systems that are aware of perfomance are rising:

  • Cloudprovider, e.g. AWS, bill based on needed computational effort
  • The computional effort influences the battery lifetime of mobile devices
  • The computational effort correlates with the CO2 emissions for the application of software

Summarized: The performance of software systems saves costs and has advantages for the costumer and on top it helps by reaching our climate goals.

Where can I learn more about Rust in Dortmund?

We are strongly committed to the local tech community. As the initiator of the Rust Dortmund Meetup, we regularly organize meetings with presentations and technical exchanges for the tech community in and around Dortmund. If you are from the region and would like to immerse yourself in the technical side, we would be delighted to welcome you as a guest.

On all topics covered, e.g. Rust from the perspective of a Java developeryou'll find recordings on the YouTube Channel of the meetup.

A great place to meet us and other technology enthusiasts outside of the everyday working environment. It's also great that some members attend conferences together, such as Rust Nation. (Experience report 2025).
