Memory Safety with Rust
summary
Rust provides memory safety without a garbage collector by using ownership and borrowing with explicit lifetimes so the compiler enforces deterministic destruction and prevents dangling references. The talk covers language features such as Box (heap allocation), move versus copy semantics, and borrowing rules implemented in compiler and standard library types, and cites Mozilla’s Servo as a practical multicore system project using this model.
