  • A visual guide to the Rust type system categorizes every possible type in Rust.
  • Focuses on 'lang_items'—types and traits built into Rust to support specific syntax.
  • Aims to clarify what can be built purely in library code, excluding types like Vec, String, and HashMap which are structs.
  • Highlights Rust's platform-independent core enabling 'no_std' crates for embedded systems without dynamic heaps.
