In this guide, we’ll explore the reasons for having two types of strings in Rust &str and String , how they work, how they are stored in memory, and when to use each of them. Grab your pop corn and let’s ride along! Why do we have two types of string in Rust? It’s normal for new Rust developers to ask this question: “Why do we have two types of…

- – Make a comment on Rust Lifetimes Simplified
This guide is an attempt to simplify Rust Lifetimes, it’s a series and will be divided into several chapters. We’ll start with chapter one today. Chapter 1 Lifetimes and its benefits In Rust programming, lifetimes is a critical yet misunderstood concept. Assuming we are not talking about programming, when we talk about lifetimes what comes to mind? According to Oxford Dictionary, a lifetime is the duration of a person’s life…

Rust is the most loved language right now — sounds like a cliche already 😃, but it’s true. In fact, it has been added to the Linux Kernel and going to be added to the Windows Kernel. Not every language enjoys that kind of privilege and love, you know. One of the benefits of Rust is that it’s fast, if you have implemented something awesome in Rust and you want…
Introducing Rust in simple English
Rust is a statically typed programming language that allows developers to build high-quality and efficient software. Rust takes memory management very seriously. While it allows you to manage your memory, it does so in a way that provides safety guarantees. Rust’s memory management system is based on the concept of ownership and borrowing. The ownership and borrowing system is a unique feature of Rust that brings together a combination of…
Rust trait implementation with a “where” clause
In today’s Rust Journey piece, we’ll discuss one concept that might confuse new Rust Developers — the where clause in the Rust trait implementation workflow. The where clause allows developers to enforce strict constraints on generic types which will result to code that is reliable, easier to maintain, and less prone to errors. While you can use the where clause in different context, our examples will be focused on how…
