About Event

​Standard stacks have limits; we’re moving past them. Join us for a deep dive into high-performance, "sovereign" architecture.

​We’ll explore how to bypass API dependencies by running AI agents entirely in the browser and how to inject Rust-level type safety into Go. From WebAssembly runtimes to custom language transpilers, this event is for developers looking to reclaim control over privacy, safety, and the client-side experience.

  • ​The 3W Principle: Local-first AI via WebLLM, WASM, and WebWorkers by Barış

  • ​Lisette: Bringing sum types and pattern matching to Go by Iván

​⚠️ CAPACITY
• Limited spots available ~ 50

​Revaler Str. 31, 10245 Berlin

​🎤 AGENDA

​18:00 – Doors Open
Get settled, grab a drink, and meet fellow builders

​19:00 – Talk 1
Compiling Rust Ideas into Go: Learnings from Lisette by Iván Ovejero Software engineer at n8n

​Go's simplicity is a genuine strength, and one of the hardest things in language design is adding capability without undermining it.

​Lisette is a language I built that compiles to Go and interoperates with the Go standard library, bringing ideas from Rust (sum types, pattern matching, nil elimination, typed error handling) into the Go ecosystem.

​In this talk, I will walk through Lisette's design, the Go code it emits, and the tradeoffs I hit along the way, to explore a broader question with the audience: how much expressiveness and safety can we layer onto Go without sacrificing what makes it such a productive language?

​🍕☕ Break — 15 min
19:30 – 19:45

​​19:40 – Talk 2
3W Principle for In-browser AI Agents by Barış Güler Software Architect at Zoi

​This talk explores the “3W” architecture for in-browser AI: WebLLM, WebAssembly, and WebWorkers.

​It shows how local model inference, multi-language agent runtimes, and responsive browser UX can work together to run AI entirely client-side, with no API calls and no data leaving the device.

​Through practical demos and architectural lessons, the session covers what this browser-native stack enables, where it still struggles, and why privacy-first, offline-capable AI may open a new frontier for web applications.
