Why combine C++ and Rust in your projects?

Описание: In this video, Florian and Till explore how integrating Rust with existing C++ projects can be a powerful approach, and share helpful resources for those looking to get started.

Florian founded Ferrous Systems to help companies adopt new technologies like Rust smoothly and effectively. Till brings over 25 years of experience with C and C++, and over time has become aware of the challenges - technical, cultural, and systemic - within the C++ ecosystem. Rust, while not a perfect solution, addresses many of those issues, which has sparked his interest both personally and professionally.

As more developers, especially younger ones embrace Rust, even seasoned C++ engineers are starting to recognize its potential. KDAB has partnered with Ferrous Systems to tap into their decade of Rust expertise and ensure we get the right support as we navigate this new territory.
