"Contraints liberates"

  1. Introductions

  2. Why Rust?

    1. Memory Safety

    2. Modern Type System

    3. Compiler does a lot of work to get it right

    4. Borrow Checker for low memory footprint, cons will be only a subset of correct code can be written in safe rust, that's why Rust has unsafe blocks.

  3. What does Rust mean for bitcoin ecosystem?

  4. variables

    1. Why immutable by default

    2. Idea of ownership

    1. Representation

    2. Emphasis on correctness

  6. pointers

    1. Demonstrate swapping of two variables
