The [rust programming language](https://www.rust-lang.org/) seeks to solve several of the problems that have plagued earlier languages for systems development.
9+
10+
Rust has started to become a [very popular choice](https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users) for performance critical projects. It is used inside the Firefox browser, at Dropbox, at ByteDance, and is also being [considered to be used inside the Linux kernel](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/linus-torvalds-weighs-in-on-rust-language-in-the-linux-kernel/) alongside C.
11+
12+
With it's language features rust has managed to bring with it several guaranties, such as the nonexistence of data-races and dangling pointers, while also moving typical runtime errors into the domain of compilation errors.
13+
14+
15+
If you want to understand how rust can give these guarantees or if you just want some insight into a very interesting language then join our introductory lecture to rust!

Join us to code on the advent calendar Advent of Code, drink julmust and eat gingerbread cookies!

We will demo some problems from last year, and then help you out solving the first problems from this year!

### About Advent of code
13+
14+
The Advent calendar Advent of Code starts already the _1st of December 06:00 CET_.
15+
16+
Until the 25th of December a **new programming puzzle** is released each day at: [https://adventofcode.com/](https://adventofcode.com/)
17+
18+
Code@LTH has a private leaderboard, where you can compete against other Code@LTH members in solving the puzzles as fast as possible (or perhaps the main competition is about how early you manage to get out of bed).
19+
20+
Join our leaderboard with the code: `107707-7795f557` at [https://adventofcode.com/2021/leaderboard/private](https://adventofcode.com/2021/leaderboard/private).
