What is Rust ownership ?

Rust's compile-time system tracking who controls data, especially heap allocations, ensuring safety sans GC.

Stack vs heap in Rust: which is faster?

Stack crushes speed—no allocation search, direct access. Heap's flexible but indirect and slower.

Nope—zero runtime cost. All checks at compile time.

Your Rust function explodes with a segfault. But wait—ownership steps in, stack and heap in perfect harmony. No more leaks, just pure speed.

Rust ownership guarantees memory safety via stack/heap rules at compile time—no GC needed. 𝕏
Stack: fixed-size, ultra-fast LIFO. Heap: dynamic, pointer-based, but costlier. 𝕏
