1 % Guidelines by language feature
3 Rust provides a unique combination of language features, some new and some
4 old. This section gives guidance on when and how to use Rust's features, and
5 brings attention to some of the tradeoffs between different features.
7 Notably missing from this section is an in-depth discussion of Rust's pointer
8 types (both built-in and in the library). The topic of pointers is discussed at
9 length in a [separate section on ownership](../ownership/README.md).
