Box, String, Vec, Rc, and Arc have this in common: they’re not dumb.

This episode, we take a close look at smart pointer types—from a few we’ve already talked about, like Box, Vec, and String, to some new ones, like Rc and Arc.

  • What smart pointers are, and what makes them ‘smart’.
  • Why we want or need smart pointers.
  • A bit about Box.
  • A lot more about Rc and Arc.
