Rust Systems Programming

A comprehensive skill for building high-performance, memory-safe systems software using Rust. This skill covers ownership, borrowing, concurrency, async programming, unsafe code, FFI, and performance optimization for systems-level development.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Building systems software requiring memory safety without garbage collection
• Developing high-performance applications with zero-cost abstractions
• Writing concurrent or parallel programs with data race prevention
• Creating async/await applications for I/O-bound workloads (web servers, databases)
• Working with low-level code, FFI, or hardware interfaces
• Replacing C/C++ code with safer alternatives
• Building command-line tools, network services, or embedded systems
• Optimizing performance-critical sections of applications
• Creating libraries that guarantee memory safety at compile time
• Developing WebAssembly modules for near-native performance
