Mixing C++ and Rust - Introduction - Video

In the last months, governments around the world have put a focus on memory safe programming languages. For C++ projects, Rust has often been suggested as the natural choice to port to.

In this video, we discuss why Rust and C++ fit well together and why the industry is embracing Rust as the memory safe systems programming language of choice.
The next videos will guide you through the process of how to mix C++ and Rust with the CXX library, as well as how to add a Qt GUI with CXX-Qt.

You can also take a look at our other resources to get started with CXX-Qt:
* The CXX-Qt Book: https://kdab.github.io/cxx-qt/book/
* CXX-Qt Github Repository: https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/
* Example code used in this video: https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/tree/main/examples/qml_minimal
