Summary
Tokyo Rust hosts a talk on reconciling `mmap()` with Rust's memory safety rules. Speaker Alex Sayers, known for the "Saturating the NIC" talk, explores whether mmap(), one of Unix's most useful I/O interfaces for working with files, can be used safely within Rust despite conflicting with its memory model.
The event takes place at Le Wagon Tokyo - Coding & AI Bootcamp, with sponsorship from TokyoDev, a job board and community connecting international software developers with English-friendly tech jobs in Japan.
Pizza and casual networking follow the talk. Seating is limited to 50, so attendees are asked to keep their RSVP status up to date.
About the community
This meetup brings together Rust programmers based in Tokyo for in-depth technical talks on language internals and systems programming, followed by casual networking over pizza and drinks. Sessions are conducted in English and are open to Rust developers of all experience levels, with the community meeting periodically at venues around Tokyo.
