The next "Cross Team Collaboration Fun Times" (CTCFT) meeting will take
place on Monday, 2022-04-18 at 9pm US Eastern Time (click to see in your
time zone). You’ll find the full details (along with a calendar
event, zoom details, etc) on the CTCFT website.
Agenda
The theme of April's CTCFT is "learning". Doc Jones will speak about the Rustc
Reading Club Phase II, and what was learned from the first iteration of the
club. Jon Gjengset will talk about teaching advanced Rust concepts.
- (5 min) Opening remarks 👋 (angelonfira)
- (20 min) Rustc Reading Club Phase II (doc-jones)
- The Rustc Reading Club has two goals. First, to produce confident new
contributors to rustc. Second, to deepen understanding of rustc for mid
level contributors. The structure of RRC enables participants to gain
experience working with other contributors making their future
collaborations easier. Phase I of the Rustc Reading Club is complete and
now we are ready to launch Phase II based on what we've learned. Phase I
focused solely on rustc's name resolver module. We plan to expand and
"read" other areas of the compiler in Phase II.
- (20 min) Teaching Advanced Rust (jonhoo)
- Over the past few years I've spent a lot of time trying to teach Rust
"beyond the basics", focusing my attention on the problems that developers
who have read all the introductory materials run into when they sit down
to actually use Rust "for real'. In this session I'll talk about some
recurring patterns I've seen while doing this, in the hope that they may
spawn interesting discussion about possible solutions.
- (5 min) Closing (angelonfira)
Like always, we'll be running a social hour after the CTCFT. The idea is really
simple: for the hour after the meeting, we will create breakout rooms in Zoom
with different themes. You can join any breakout room you like and hangout.
