* Modern language features. * Modern language features.
<details>
Make sure to ask the class which languages they have experience with. Depending
on the answer you can highlight different features of Rust:
* Experience with C or C++: Rust eliminates a whole class of _runtime errors_
via the borrow checker. You get performance like in C and C++, but you don't
have the memory unsafety issues. In addition, you get a modern language with
constructs like pattern matching and built-in dependency management.
* Experience with Java, Go, Python, JavaSript...: You get the same memory safety
as in those languages, plus a similar high-level language feeling. In addition
you get fast and predictable performance like C and C++ (no garbage collector)
as well as access to low-level hardware (should you need it)
