Why Rust? Rust has been Stack Overflow’s most loved programming language for several years running. Let’s explore what makes it special. Memory Safety Without Garbage Collection One of Rust’s most notable features is its guarantee of memory safety without using a garbage collector. This is achieved through its ownership system: fn main() { let s1 = String::from("hello"); let s2 = s1; // s1 is moved to s2 // println!("{}", s1); // This would cause a compile error println!("{}", s2); // This works fine } Zero-Cost Abstractions Rust provides high-level features without runtime overhead: ...

TypeScript Fundamentals TypeScript adds static typing to JavaScript, making code more maintainable and catching errors early. Type Definitions // Basic types type User = { id: number; name: string; email: string; active?: boolean; }; // Union types type Status = 'pending' | 'active' | 'inactive'; // Generic interfaces interface Repository<T> { find(id: string): Promise<T>; save(item: T): Promise<T>; } Advanced Patterns // Discriminated unions type Shape = | { kind: 'circle'; radius: number } | { kind: 'rectangle'; width: number; height: number }; function getArea(shape: Shape): number { switch (shape.kind) { case 'circle': return Math.PI * shape.radius ** 2; case 'rectangle': return shape.width * shape.height; } } Best Practices Use strict mode { "compilerOptions": { "strict": true } } Prefer interfaces for public APIs Use type inference when possible Leverage const assertions Implement proper error handling Stay tuned for more TypeScript tips! ...
