Introduction

What is Rust?

“Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents almost all crashes*, and eliminates data races.”

...

* In theory. Rust is a work-in-progress and may do anything it likes up to and including eating your laundry.

Memory Safety

Rust's compiler statically determines when you need to allocate or deallocate memory, and inserts those calls itself.

“To err is to be human, but compilers never forget.”

Ownership

Borrowing

There is a ‘data race’ when two or more pointers access the same memory location at the same time, where at least one of them is writing, and the operations are not synchronized.

Borrowing - Rules

  • A borrow must last for a smaller scope than the owner.
  • You must have:
    • 0 or more references (&T) to a resource.
    • Exactly 1 mutable reference (&mut T)

Borrowing - Example
