This document provides an introduction to Rust and discusses its memory safety features through ownership and borrowing rules. It explains that Rust avoids garbage collection and is memory safe by enforcing that references and mutable references cannot be held simultaneously. This prevents issues like use-after-free and iterator invalidation. The ownership system transfers control of values during assignment and function calls. Borrowing allows sharing references while a value is valid. The compiler enforces rules that any borrow must not outlive the owner and there can only be one mutable reference at a time.
