Stage 6.undefined: Summary

Whew, congrats for making it through! I know it's a lot to take in, but you are well under way to becoming a Rustacean. Hopefully it's clear how Rust as a language aims to solve many of these common challenges in systems programming:

• Unintentional modification of resources
• Forgetting to deconstruct resources
• Resources accidentally being deconstructed twice
• Using resources after they have been deconstructed
• Data races caused by writing to resources while others are reading from resources
• Seeing clearly areas of the code where the compiler can’t make guarantees

In the next chapter we'll apply some of this knowledge as we look at how Rust handles text.
