Rust is a new systems programming language that combines the performance and low-level control of C and C++ with memory safety and thread safety. Rust’s modern, flexible types ensure your program is free of null pointer dereferences, double frees, dangling pointers, and similar bugs, all at compile time, without runtime overhead. In multi-threaded code, Rust catches data races at compile time, making concurrency much easier to use.
Written by two experienced systems programmers, this book explains how Rust manages to bridge the gap between performance and safety, and how you can take advantage of it. Topics include:
<ul>
<li>How Rust represents values in memory (with diagrams)</li>
<li>Complete explanations of ownership, moves, borrows, and lifetimes</li>
<li>Cargo, rustdoc, unit tests, and how to publish your code on crates.io, Rust’s public package repository</li>
<li>High-level features like generic code, closures, collections, and iterators that make Rust productive and flexible</li>
<li>Concurrency in Rust: threads, mutexes, channels, and atomics, all much safer to use than in C or C++</li>
<li>Unsafe code, and how to preserve the integrity of ordinary code that uses it</li>
<li>Extended examples illustrating how pieces of the language fit together</li>
</ul>

<div> Systems programming provides the foundation for the world's computation. Developing performance-sensitive code requires a programming language that puts programmers in control of how memory, processor time, and other system resources are used. The Rust systems programming language combines that control with a modern type system that catches broad classes of common mistakes, from memory management errors to interthread data races. With this practical guide, experienced systems programmers will learn how to successfully bridge the gap between performance and safety using Rust. Jim Blandy, Jason Orendorff, and Leonora Tindall demonstrate how Rust's features put programmers in control over memory consumption and processor use by combining predictable performance with memory safety and trustworthy concurrency. You'll learn: <ul> <li>Rust's fundamental data types and the core concepts of ownership and borrowing</li> <li>Language basics including error handling, crates and modules, structs, and enums</li> <li>How to write flexible, efficient code with traits and generics</li> <li>Rust's key power tools: closures, iterators, and asynchronous programming</li> <li>Collections, strings and text, input and output, concurrency, macros, unsafe code, and interfacing with foreign functions </li> </ul> This updated edition covers Rust 1.50 (February 2021). </div>
