Abstract
Abstract: Rust makes things faster but it slows down engineers, right? This was our team’s assumption when we decided to rewrite our code from Kotlin into Rust. But, we were wrong in completely unexpected ways. We learned that we can write very slow code in Rust, and we could also write features faster in Rust as a team. This talks dives into the unexpected aspects of Rust that we confronted as we build a multi-million TPS service.
