Join us next week (Thu 3rd Oct) where long time Async attendee James Hugman will give us a look into the world of Rust + React Native.
You: a web developer, building an app for mobile. You're using React Native, I'm guessing. In search of speed, you've looked for React Native plugins on npmjs and found specialized packages written in a variety of Java, Objective-C and C++.
James will talk about a new option: Rust, and specifically, uniffi-rs: a tool for running portable Rust from iOS, Android, Python and now: React Native.
He will talk about what it is, how it works, and what he's learned about Javascript while building the bindings generator for React Native.
At Mozilla, James worked on the core uniffi-rs team. Now, he is building uniffi backends enabling more languages to talk to Rust. He is currently working with a stealth startup to generate Matrix SDK plugins for React Native, Electron and nodejs.
Pizzas provided by our venue! Runway East has been fighting boring offices since 2014. Members get team bliss guaranteed with space to scale. Learn more. Drinks will be provided by Silicon Brighton.
You will be able to join us in-person at Runway East or online.
If you're thinking of joining us in-person please sign up on Meetup.
