Ownership and Borrowing in Rust: A Systems Construction Perspective

Explore Rust's Ownership and Borrowing System from a systems construction perspective in this 24-minute conference talk by Florian Gilcher at Rust Linz, March 2021. Gain insights into how these concepts impact component interactions, making it particularly valuable for programmers transitioning from memory-safe languages like Ruby, Java, or Python. Delve into topics such as crossing component boundaries, component lifecycles, and different coupling levels. Learn practical rules of thumb and discover types that can break or consciously create coupling. Enhance your understanding of Rust's unique approach to memory management and its implications for system design.
