Let's Nom Nom Some JSON in Rust
If you've heard of parser combinators but you're not sure what they are, then this talk is for you!
Jules Guesnon (Software Engineer at Specify) goes through the basics and theory of parsers, characterizing the different theoretical approaches to parsing, and reflecting on some of their limitations.
In the context he sets up, parser combinators can be understood as a direct way of writing parsers. Jules describes this approach in detail and touch on how it compares to generated parsers. To conclude his talk, he walks us through a simple "Hello World" parser implementation to understand the basics, and progressively review a JSON parser to show a real world use case.
Watch to learn about the different approaches to parsing and understand parser combinators in detail!
Property-Based Testing in Rust
Sean Payne (Software Engineer at Braid) talks about his experience with property based testing, a practical and powerful hybrid of formal methods and handwritten tests. Watch to learn about the benefits and challenges of this approach, as well as about using it in your Rust projects.

Rewriting Relay's GraphQL Compiler in Rust
Slides: https://t.co/cCc3KgH8Iy
What's a GraphQL compiler, and why would you want to (re)write one in Rust? How does Rust measure up compared to JavaScript (and other alternatives) when it comes to building this kind of software?
Robert Balicki (engineer at Meta on the React Data team) talks about the decision and process of rewriting Relay's GraphQL Compiler in Rust, before diving into lessons learned. Watch to learn not only about how Relay is used and why they decided to rewrite its compiler in Rust, but also about the DOs and DON'Ts of writing compiler-like things.
