Rust NYC: Write A Custom Coding Agent and wasm_zero

A Rust NYC meetup with two talks: building a custom coding-agent harness in Rust from scratch, and wasm_zero for running Rust in the browser.

Wed, Jul 22, 10:30 PMMaterialize HQ · New York City · NY

Why it matters

A from-scratch coding-agent talk gets into the harness and session-format decisions that quietly determine what a coding agent costs to run per session.

The tokenmaxxing angle

Owning your coding-agent harness means owning every context-window, session-persistence and model-call decision — precisely the knobs that set per-session token cost instead of inheriting someone else's defaults.

From the organizers

Alex Kesling, CTO of Empathic, covers writing a Claude Code-style coding agent in Rust, including agent harnesses and session formats; hosted at sponsor Materialize in NYC.
