Refactoring to Rust shows you exactly where and how to integrate Rust surgically into applications written in another language. You’ll start by reviewing Rust’s unique syntax and concepts, with special emphasis on unique language features like variable lifetime and ownership. Then, you’ll learn to use Rust to wrap dangerous code, call standard and custom Rust libraries, and even use WASM to run Rust in the browser.
