JavaScript developer getting into rust and looking for memory resources (beehaw.org)

I’m a self taught JavaScript developer. I’ve got many years of experience but I’ve never worked in a language I use to manage memory in any form. I’ve been having a lot of fun learning rust and learning about what’s physically happening when a program is executed.

I’ve been watching Core Dumped (https://youtube.com/@CoreDumpped) and Low Level Learning (https://youtube.com/@LowLevelLearning) and it’s been so helpful. I have also been watching Let’s Get Rusty which is good for learning rust specifically, but I’m looking for more memory focused or detailed videos or channels talking about why things are happening. Do you know if any other channels, videos or resources that could help me learn more about this?

After you read The Rust Programming Language book, read The Rustonomicon book, then What every programmer should know about memory by Ulrich Drepper, then this Stack Overflow comment about what has changed since 2007.

You won't need to read all of this to be productive, but the more you read the better your understanding will be which should make you more productive.

Amazing thank you, just ordered the rust programming language book.

I linked to free resources so you wouldn't have to buy the book, but I also bought a physical copy as I find it easier to regularly read a physical copy.

Have fun!
