Day 1 Closing Keynote at RustConf 2025 Slides: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MYJarxz0tTQPoI-xbkPTyhexWd47QlNY?usp=share_link Abstract: Rust has won systems programming, but can it be used for more? The biggest barrier to “high level Rust” isn’t performance or safety — it’s ergonomics and developer productivity. In this talk we explore Rust’s potential as a high-level programming language and how Dioxus is solving the fundamental challenges. We’ll dive deep into the design of innovations like linker-based asset bundling, cross-platform deployment, and even sub-second Rust hot-reloading. The future of application development is Rust, and we’re making it a reality. Presenter: Jonathan is the creator and founder of Dioxus, a side-project-turned-startup building a cross-platform app framework for Rust. Before Dioxus, he worked at Cloudflare on Warp and 1.1.1.1, and before that, did scientific research in physics and engineering at Duke and NASA. He’s been active in the Rust community since 2018 and enjoys making Rust easier to use for high-level development. In his spare time, Jonathan enjoys hiking trips, dancing, and photography around the world.
