Rust Programming 2023 - A Comprehensive Course for Beginners - Rust - The Borrow Checker

The video discusses persistent issues in C and C++ related to memory safety, such as use after free errors. It highlights improvements in modern C++ but notes ongoing challenges. The video introduces Rust's borrow checker, a feature ensuring references are valid and preventing invalid memory access. The borrow checker is part of Rust's compiler, enforcing properties to maintain code safety. The video promises a deeper dive into these topics later in the course.
