Learning Systems Programming with Rust
summary
Covers concrete claims and examples: Rust defaults to stack allocation and shows how Box::new moves data to the heap, how pointers are dereferenced, and how Vec and String use heap storage. Demonstrates performance differences versus Ruby/Python and explains reference counting (Rc) as GC-light alternative. Expect side‑by‑side Ruby/Python snippets, step‑by‑step stack frames, heap allocation mechanics, and a brief note on unsafe and when it breaks things.
