Not so much technical stuff, but more about how intentional the community is designed.&lt;p&gt;It made me feel proud to be part of a group that is all about empowering the people that need it most. People that are typically marginalized.&lt;p&gt;How values aren’t an option; how deciding not to have values is itself a value choice.&lt;p&gt;The whole event made me even more excited about Rust, and building in an ecosystem that is very explicitly inclusive.</text></comment>

Historically, there&amp;#x27;s been a big tension with Rustconf, and that&amp;#x27;s that many people are still new to Rust, so serving them best involves accepting talks that are more broad, both in scope and difficulty. It&amp;#x27;s &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; hard to pick talks for something as big as a language ecosystem for a one-day, one track conference.&lt;p&gt;Last year, RustConf did one day, but two parallel tracks. Fourteen talks instead of seven helps a lot, and lets you accept things in a much broader range of topics and difficulties.&lt;p&gt;2020 is... not a usual year for events. There are also more conferences these days, and with different focuses. Oxidize is very different than RustFest is different than RustConf is different than all the other various confs.</text></comment>
