Overview of this book

Most programming languages can really complicate things, especially with regard to unsafe memory access. The burden on you, the programmer, lies across two domains: understanding the modern machine and your language's pain-points. This book will teach you to how to manage program performance on modern machines and build fast, memory-safe, and concurrent software in Rust. It starts with the fundamentals of Rust and discusses machine architecture concepts. You will be taken through ways to measure and improve the performance of Rust code systematically and how to write collections with confidence. You will learn about the Sync and Send traits applied to threads, and coordinate thread execution with locks, atomic primitives, data-parallelism, and more. The book will show you how to efficiently embed Rust in C++ code and explore the functionalities of various crates for multithreaded applications. It explores implementations in depth. You will know how a mutex works and build several yourself. You will master radically different approaches that exist in the ecosystem for structuring and managing high-scale systems. By the end of the book, you will feel comfortable with designing safe, consistent, parallel, and high-performance applications in Rust.

Summary


In this last chapter of the book, we discussed near and midterm improvements coming to the Rust language—features being stabilized after a while out in the wilderness, the foundations of larger projects being integrated, research that may or may not pan out, and other topics. Some of these topics will surely have chapters of their own in the second edition of this book, should it get a new edition (Tell your friends to pick up a copy!). We also touched on the community, which is the place to find ongoing discussions, ask questions, and get involved. Then, we affirmed that, yes indeed, you should write in unsafe Rust when you have reason to do so. Okay, that's it. That's the end of the book.
