Intro and Overview to Rust
summary
Covers Rust basics with concrete examples: mutability vs default immutability, explicit integer types like usize when indexing Vec, formatting with {:?} debug and using the vec! macro, plus how the borrow checker rejects moves (forcing clones or ref design). Shows two merge sort implementations — a simple copying version that works and an in-place version that currently fails — and describes a Rust implementation of the Tau graph database and a fast multi-tenant datastore (published at OSDI).
