Week 13: Idiomatic Rust
Introduction
This week you’ll master advanced Rust patterns that make code elegant, efficient, and truly “Rusty”. You’ll explore three essential patterns used throughout professional codebases: iterators and closures for functional programming, smart pointers for flexible memory management, and idiomatic error handling with Result. These patterns separate beginner Rust from production-ready Rust.
