Rust Everywhere: Powering our entire tech stack from GPU to GUI

As highlighted in the latest Stack Overflow Developer Survey, Rust has emerged as the most admired programming language. Its adoption is rapidly growing in the tech industry. Yet, many developers still find working with Rust daily out of reach. 👾 At Muybridge, they’ve integrated Rust throughout their tech stack, utilizing it for everything from high-performance CUDA programming to GUI development, simulations, and embedded systems. In this presentation, we’ll explore how Rust’s unique features make it an ideal choice for building a high-performance video processing pipeline, allowing us to "reinvent" the camera.
