Introduction to the Language and Tools of the Ecosystem
summary
Demonstrates Rust’s approach to memory safety and concurrency without a garbage collector, showing how manual control is combined with safety guarantees. Uses rustup, rustc and cargo with VS Code in a 40-minute hands-on workshop that builds a linear search program exercising arrays vs vectors, iterators, dereferencing, stdin handling with expect/parse, and iteratively fixing compiler errors to compile and run.
