No segfaults. No data races. No garbage collector. Here's the idea behind Rust's most powerful feature — with diagrams that make it click. You've probably heard that Rust is memory-safe — that it doesn't crash with segfaults or silently corrupt data like C can. But how does it do that without a garbage collector slowing things down?
