A systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.
Every value in Rust has a variable that's called its owner. There can only be one owner at a time. When the owner goes out of scope, the value will be dropped.
This simple set of rules forms the foundation of Rust's memory safety guarantees — no garbage collector needed, no runtime overhead, just compile-time verification that your program respects the laws of ownership.
Move semantics ensure that when you assign a value to a new variable, the original binding becomes invalid. The compiler catches use-after-move errors before your code ever runs.
"Every reference has a lifetime"
Shared borrows coexist peacefully — but a mutable borrow demands exclusivity.
