"Level Up Your Concurrency Skills With Rust" by David Sullins

In an age of diminishing single-core performance improvements, having a strong grasp of concurrent programming is more useful than ever. But what makes it so hard to learn compared to many other concepts? Race conditions are sneaky: they might not show up in your tests, and it can be terrifying if they're first found in production. It's not always easy to see when we've made a concurrency mistake.
Rust can help! This talk will show you how Rust will catch many concurrency errors at compile time, giving you a quick feedback loop to improve your understanding of how to make concurrent programming safe. No matter what language you develop in the most, practicing with Rust could help you improve your skills. Don't fear the concurrency!

The music ends after one minute so don't be discouraged by it. This talk doesn't have much to offer for people who know Rust (it talks about ownership and borrow), but it's really good introduction of why Rust is worth looking into for concurrent programming.

29:22 -- "It's gorgeous ... is it wrong for me to have these kind of feelings about compiler error messages?" -- LOL! Too funny man; that was an awesome moment, thanks for doing that! And great talk!! Very lucid and clear. Thanks for doing this.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed that moment. I initially had regrets about going off script but it worked out

The last joke is so much on point

Best explanation of ownership! Great talk.

Will these concurrency methods carry over into WebAssembly?
