You Don't Own Me
summary
Rust promises memory and thread safety without a GC by enforcing an ownership model where each value has one owner, moves transfer ownership, and values are dropped when their owner leaves scope; the borrow checker (now improved with non‑lexical lifetimes) and the drop checker run on the compiler’s MIR to verify lifetimes and drop order at compile time. Use cases include command‑line tools, WebAssembly, embedded and networking code; known crates include tracing, Tower, rustdoc tooling and cryptography libraries such as the X25519 crate.
