Under The Hood, Electrum

Rust Under The Hood (Hebrew)

Ownership is the breakout feature of Rust. It allows Rust to be completely memory-safe and efficient while avoiding garbage collection with a set of strict rules. Rust enforces these rules through lifetimes. Lifetimes are effectively just names for scopes somewhere in the program. In this session, we'll talk about how these concepts work, how to embrace it and the mental model of a Rust developer.
