Biography/History:

Chanda Abhishek: Abhishek Chanda studied computer science at IIEST Shibpur in India and electrical engineering at Rutgers University. He has been working on networking and distributed systems since 2008. Over his career, he has worked with large companies (like Microsoft and Dell) and small startups (Cloudscaling, DataSine) in India, US, and the UK. He is enthusiastic about open source software and has contributed to a number of projects like OpenStack, Nomad etc. He contributes to a number of open source projects. He came across Rust in 2015 and found it to be a perfect fit for writing highly performant systems.

Summary:

Rust has steadily become one of the most important new programming languages in recent years. One the one hand, it is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing memory-safety through compile-time validation. Rust also guarantees data race-free parallelism. All these features make it uniquely suitable for.
