Keep calm and call clone with Rust
Ryan sits down with Josh Triplett, member of the Rust Leadership Team at the Rust Project, to chat about how the borrow checker delivers compile-time memory safety without garbage collection overhead, why Rust consistently ranks as developers' most loved language by providing psychological safety for complex systems, and how strict compiler constraints make Rust an ideal target for AI coding agents.
Episode notes:
Rust is an open-source systems programming language focused on performance, type safety, and compile-time memory safety without the runtime overhead of garbage collection.
Connect with Josh on his website, on LinkedIn, or chat with him on the Rust Zulip.
