[mdlug] 3/4/2026 GoLUG meeting, 7pm Eastern STANDARD time

[Steve Litt]

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.
