Summary

In this chapter, we proceeded into unsafe territory, where raw pointers point the way. We covered how to use assembly code, how to call C functions from Rust, and how to call Rust functions from other languages.

This chapter concludes our essential tour of Rust. In the upcoming chapters, we will look at the standard library and the crates ecosystem, providing pointers (no pun intended) for your Rust journey.
