Description

Jonathan and Federico will give an update on GNOME Crosswords. This app is both a stand-alone game as well as a crossword puzzle editor. Over the past year, we have explored writing it as a stateless application with commutative widgets. It has also been used as a test-bed for porting a complex API to rust.

This talk will cover lessons learned, as well cover some of the intricacies of writing and solving crosswords.
