It seems interesting but £510 is a lot for 2 days of currently unknown content.
If you're in the US, £510 might turn out to be pretty cheap by time 2023 rolls around.
Don't hurt me like that :(

It's sounds pretty standard in it's exorbitance to me. The tickets that aren't gifted tend to be paid by corporations using up their training budgets, and well-heeled consultant networkers rather than individual coders I suspect.
Sounds about right. I don't really have a training budget and if I did it would still be hard to justify since I don't need to use Rust at work.

Yeah it sucks that people who are using Rust as hobby can't participate in these conferences w/o coughing up big chunk of cash. But hopefully there are recorded streams available for these later.

Not sure what is there intention.
Usually it costs a lot because organizers expect companies to pay their staff to go there and "learn" stuff.
Milking people using rust professionally does not sound profitable.
It's also hard to justify to pay and go somewhere instead of just doing some livestream.

Can't you see it will be the best event ever for the same reason that this post is on the front page of HN? It's about Rust.
