Ready for Rust
summary
A compact walkthrough builds a genetic programming simulator with the Rust toolchain using rustup & cargo, shows the borrow-checker ownership rules that prevent dangling pointers and data races, and demonstrates easy multithreading via spawn + move handles. Performance jumps from ~110k cycles/sec in a Clojure version to ~3.5M in Rust debug and ~25 million cycles/sec in an optimized build. Compiler errors are numbered and linkable, and fixing captures (pulling params into locals) resolves mutable/immutable borrow conflicts.
