Issues the Rust language solves

The Rust language gets rid of some issues that C and C++ languages have.

Problems in C/C++	Solution
Double free	Move semantics and scope based resource management.
Use after free (aka dangling pointers)	Borrow checker tracks references lifetimes, i.e., reference can’t outlive its owner.
Buffer overflow	slice types and .last()/.last_mut() methods for sequences.
