In this chapter, we covered the layout of Rust objects in memory, the way references work across both safe and unsafe Rust, and have addressed the various allocation strategies of a Rust program. We did a deep-dive on types in the Rust standard library to make these concepts concrete and it is hoped that the reader will now feel comfortable further exploring the compiler and will do so with confidence.
