Luca Palmieri, a principal software engineer at TrueLayer and author of 'Zero To Production in Rust', dives into the world of Rust for backend systems. He shares insights into his book's origin as onboarding material and how community feedback shaped its content. Luca discusses the advantages of using Actix Web, compares different Rust frameworks, and elaborates on challenges in the Rust ecosystem. He offers practical advice for beginners, emphasizing the importance of practical projects and the evolving educational landscape in Rust.

First time guest host, Allen Wyma talks with Daniel, the original author of cURL, about using Rust in cURL. cURL is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs. cURL, and its data transfer core, libcurl are both written in C, which is known to be not memory safe. While it is almost impossibe to rewrite it into another language, offering a third-party library written in Rust could take a further step forward.
