I was fortunate to be able to attend. Sometimes I feel like I'm just not built for conferences: I prefer solitude, and people usually go to conferences to confer. That said, this was an exceptional group of people to be among: smart, friendly, helpful, passionate, and accepting. I know it's been said before: the rust community at this stage of its evolution gets this right. I also attended the beginner and intermediate training on Friday, and I feel like this pushed me over the hump. Thank you, Steve and Aaron, for presenting the material so well. I even attended the tokio hackathon on Friday night to push myself out of my comfort zone. I wasn't able to contribute anything that night, but I spent some time troubleshooting a build problem in the tokio-line project, just for the sake of learning. I would recommend attending next year if you get the opportunity.
