Rust for Gophers, Lesson 1: Hello, Cargo

Rust for Gophers is a sixteen-lesson roadmap guiding developers from basic programs to async web services. The curriculum replaces Go concepts like go mod and GC with Rust toolchains and ownership. Lesson one covers toolchains and tests, while lesson two explains how ownership enables memory management without a garbage collector. By analyzing stack versus heap allocation at compile time, Rust ensures efficient memory freeing, building essential foundations before advancing to traits and asynchronous server development.
