Rust Systems Programming

This is the comprehensive Rust systems programming reference you want when you're dealing with ownership puzzles, writing concurrent code, or trying to understand why the borrow checker is yelling at you. It walks through the core ownership model with clear examples of move semantics versus Copy types, covers borrowing rules that prevent data races at compile time, and shows practical patterns like using Arc and Mutex for shared state across threads. The async programming section is solid, including the tricky bits like recursive async functions needing Box::pin and how async closures handle captures. If you're moving from C++ or building anything performance critical where memory safety matters, this gives you the mental models and concrete examples you need.

Rust Systems Programming

A comprehensive skill for building high-performance, memory-safe systems software using Rust. This skill covers ownership, borrowing, concurrency, async programming, unsafe code, FFI, and performance optimization for systems-level development.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

Building systems software requiring memory safety without garbage collection
Developing high-performance applications with zero-cost abstractions
Writing concurrent or parallel programs with data race prevention
Creating async/await applications for I/O-bound workloads (web servers, databases)
Working with low-level code, FFI, or hardware interfaces
Replacing C/C++ code with safer alternatives
Building command-line tools, network services, or embedded systems
Optimizing performance-critical sections of applications
Creating libraries that guarantee memory safety at compile time
Developing WebAssembly modules for near-native performance
