RustViz
Generates interactive visualizations of ownership and borrowing in Rust programs to aid learning.
What is RustViz?
RustViz is a tool that generates interactive visualizations from annotated Rust programs to illustrate ownership, borrowing, and lifetime concepts. It helps users understand how resources move, are borrowed, and go out of scope in Rust by rendering graphical timelines alongside code. The project focuses on educational use, making Rust's memory safety features more accessible.
Rust learners, educators, and developers who want to deepen their understanding of ownership and borrowing mechanics through visual aids.
It provides a unique, interactive way to visualize Rust's core memory management concepts, which are often challenging to grasp from text alone. Unlike static diagrams, RustViz generates customizable, event-driven timelines that integrate directly with code examples.
