Why Rust is not really OOP?

Ciao Milanese Ferrists! 🦀 We know, we know... we’re dropping this event page a little close to the wire, but we promise we’re making up for it by bringing you an absolute banger of a talk. We're back, we're ready to rock, and we’re taking down classical inheritance with a top-tier speaker! 🔥 🙏 Special Thanks: A huge shout-out to our friends at Randstad Box for opening their doors to us, being super flexible with our chaotic scheduling, and hosting the community! 🎙️ The Talk: Why Rust is not really OOP Speaker: Enzo Lombardi For decades, Object-Oriented Programming told us that classes, deep inheritance trees, and `polymorphicdogs.extend(cats)` were the only way to build software. Then Rust came along, threw out class inheritance, and said: "What if we just used Traits and composition instead?" We are super excited to have Enzo Lombardi, a well-known tech lead, veteran software architect, and prominent voice in the Italian developer community—leading this session. Drawing from his extensive background in enterprise architecture and object-oriented systems, Enzo will walk us through his conversion story from traditional OOP dogmatism to Rustacean enlightenment. What you’ll learn: Where traditional OOP hits a wall in modern, high-performance systems. How Rust gets code reuse and polymorphism right without messy class hierarchies. The mental gymnastics (and eventual inner peace) required to stop thinking in objects and start thinking in ownership and traits. 📍 Logistics & Venue When: Tuesday\, September 29th | 18:30 (Doors open) Where: Randstad Box Milano — Via S. Vigilio, 5, 20142 Milano MI Agenda: Talk + Q&A + sticking around for a drink and good old-fashioned Rust banter. Seats are limited because of the short notice, so grab your spot fast!
