Talks
All RustConf talks were 30 minutes, with no live Q&A. Instead, a channel on the Discord server was opened for each talk where the speaker and curious attendees would go to ask and answer questions. It had the…
Rust. A ray tracer. The dream of WebAssembly. One dangerous idea that could ruin everything.
This was the scene at the end of my last post, which covered creating a ray tracer in Rust using Peter Shirley’s outstanding Ray Tracing in One Weekend. In the wrap-up to that post, I…
