*ABSTRACT:*

Rust <https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/> is a new and exciting systems
programming language promising strong typing, cost free abstractions, and
fearless concurrency. Some of these hard problems have plagued all
programming languages for years. We'll talk about why Rust helps you think
about other programming languages more accurately, why Rust helps you
communicate with your team, and how you can help test some actual Rust code
every day to help the Mozilla foundation improve Firefox.
