Welcome to Day 4

We have mastered the core language and its unique safety model:

• Foundations & Abstraction: Traits, generics, and the standard library.
• Ownership: Move semantics and the Drop trait.
• Memory Management: Borrowing rules (& vs &mut) and lifetimes.
• Smart Pointers: Box, Rc, and RefCell for complex data structures.

You now understand how Rust guarantees memory safety at compile time! Today we focus on applying this knowledge to build robust, large-scale applications.
