Rust for the C++ Programmer
summary
Compares concrete Rust features to C++ equivalents and shows how they catch real bugs: an Option prevents calling stats after shutdown, the borrow checker flags use-after-move and forces ownership fixes, a threaded counter that nondeterministically miscounts in C++ fails to compile until rewritten with Arc + Mutex and clone, and Result plus the ? operator propagates errors without exceptions. Demonstrates derive macros (Clone Debug) and cargo plus serde for JSON; many examples compile and the Rust versions prevent classes of runtime errors.
