Contributing to the Rust compiler with little to no code
RustNLAntonio Piraino -- A brief overview of the less visible work happening in the Compiler Team. And why the one doing it can be you!
One year of moderation by Oli Scherer and Antonio Piraino. We will talk about how moderation works in the Rust project and its challenges across the project (in different venues) over the past year. We will give a quick overview about the tools we use and those we wish to have. About Oli Scherer (he/they): Oli started contributing to Rust around the 1.0 release, because attempting to replicate Ada's subtypes showed that const eval just wasn't up to it yet. In 2018 they became a compiler team m
