Nix Your Bugs & Rust Your Engines is a new meetup for people in the Rhein-Neckar region that are interested in Rust (the programming language), Nix (the package manager), or NixOS (the Linux distribution). It takes place at the Mathematikon in Heidelberg (Im Neuenheimer Feld 205) in room 2/103 (on the center of the second floor).

If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email at nixrust@rheinneckar.events or contact us on Mastodon at @NixRust@rheinneckar.social. We also have a Matrix room: #nixrust-hd:matrix.org.

Schedule (tentative):

• 18:00 – Open Doors

• 18:20 – Greeting

• 18:30 – Moritz Gutfleisch: Procedural Macros for Network Programming (and everything else)

• 19:30 – Nix talk (TBA)

• 20:00 – Networking and get together

Talk: Procedural Macros for Network Programming (and everything else)

by Moritz Gutfleisch

Procedural macros allow executing functions that produce Rust syntax at compile time. They allow for very sophisticated code generation and can drastically reduce boilerplate and redundancies. We’ll look at how these macros can be used to make dissecting and handling network packets significantly more convenient to motivate them. Then, we’ll learn how to write them and what tools the Rust ecosystem provides us to do so.
