Oxidize Lightning Talks – Massimiliano Mantione
summary
A process for migrating a hard, performance‑critical C++ algorithm to Rust through incremental work: start by becoming proficient in Rust, win management trust, build low‑risk tooling as external Rust programs that measure and improve the algorithm, then reuse those tools to add production features until the C++ core is replaced. The effort runs over 5 years, yields almost zero bugs (two glitches) in production and large performance wins moving workloads that once took hours down toward milliseconds.
