The state of the Rust in Belarus
Rust 1.0 was announced in 2015 and aroused interest among developers. First mention Rust community in Belarus dated March 9, 2016 at Facebook group: Rust.by . Pretty promising, right?
Maturity with a maturity of the language
So starting in 2016 the community was developed up to 40 people. Belarus Rust user group was lead by Avatar Konstantin Stepanov. Rust meetups was supported by Netcracker Technology.
Unfortunately starting in 2019 there was a community decline (Mostly related to the inactivity of Konstantin).
My contribution
My interest in Rust woke up in 2019. Inspired by ideas and benefits of language I'm starting to explore it by writing some code (even playing with CodeSignal algorithms implemented on Rust).
Later I had a chance to chat with local blogger ItBeard who focused on interviewing persons from It (focused on different languages and directions). I'm kindly chasing him to build a video about Rust and even have a chance to recommend taking an interview on KonstantineEnjoy Everything about Rust!.
Rust BY
And finally, I decide to continue to develop our Belarus Rust community and start the Telegram channel of Belarus Rust community. Join our community and grow with us!
