In this episode Karsten Hohage talks with our guests André Borrmann and Philipp Degler about Rust, a programming language that was open-sourced from the start. Philipp and André talk about Rust’s evolution, explain its growing popularity within the community, and explore the possibilities it offers. We also learn why a strict compiler is better than a friendly one and why working with Rust can sometimes feel like raising a child.

Guests:

He started as an SAP Solution Manager consultant and ABAP developer and is now part of the Strategic Development Projects team as Full Stack Development Expert. He supports and drives strategic implementation projects and explores new technologies.
