Rust is a systems programming language that guarantees memory safety without garbage
collection. For C++ developers, Rust offers familiar concepts like RAII, zero-cost
abstractions, and low-level control, while adding compile-time safety guarantees
that prevent data races, null pointer dereferences, and use-after-free bugs.

This section maps C++ concepts to their Rust equivalents, highlighting similarities
and key differences. Each chapter includes side-by-side code comparisons with
working examples.
