Example Concept: Rust's ownership model is built around three core principles: ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. Ownership ensures that each value in Rust has a single owner, which is responsible for its memory. Borrowing allows references to data without taking ownership, with the borrow checker enforcing rules to prevent data races and dangling pointers. Lifetimes are used to ensure that references are valid for the duration of their use, preventing use-after-free errors.
