Getting Started with Rust: A Language Built for Safety
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: ...
