Packet Pushers
About this episode

On today’s Heavy Networking episode, I talk with Nick Carter about Flock Networks, his routing protocol stack startup, as well as Nick’s love of the Rust programming language. As a network engineer, maybe you don’t think you care about Rust. Nick’s here to explain why the discerning network engineer might prefer their routing daemons to have been written in Rust. We also talk about the pleasures and travails of startup life.

The post Heavy Networking 652: Why Networkers Should Want Routing Protocols Written In Rustlang appeared first on Packet Pushers.
