Production Rust
The patterns that show up in code review: smart pointers, interior mutability, concurrency, async fundamentals, common standard-library traits, project layout, formatting, Clippy, and the edges where Rust asks for explicit tradeoffs.
Themes
7.1
Smart pointers
Smart pointers encode ownership strategies in types. This theme covers
Box<T> for heap allocation and recursive types, Rc<T> for shared
single-thread ownership, and Arc<T> fo…
Sometimes Rust permits mutation through a shared reference by moving
borrow checks to runtime. This theme teaches Cell, RefCell, and the
Rc<RefCell<T>> pattern as tools with…
Rust's ownership rules extend into concurrency. This theme covers
thread::spawn, move closures, JoinHandle, message passing with
channels, and shared state with `Arc<Mutex<T>…
7.4
Async basics
Rust async is explicit: async fn returns a future, .await yields
within an executor, and most real async code is runtime-specific. This
theme stays runtime-light and focuses on…
This final theme is the code-review survival kit: rustfmt, Clippy,
docs, Result in main, todo! vs unimplemented!, prelude habits,
and avoiding needless clone, unwrap,…
