I'm excited to share my book, "Rust Under the Hood," which explores Rust internals by examining the x86-64 assembly code generated by its compiler.
This book emerged from a series of articles I wrote about Rust and assembly, which you can read here:
You can also find the book on Amazon and read a sample here:

What's in the Book?
- Understand how Rust represents enums, tuples, structs, and strings in assembly. Learn about heap operations with Box, Vec, Rc, and Arc.
- Compare static and dynamic dispatch, explore the role of Vtables, and see how closures manage state.
- Dive into loop optimizations, SIMD auto-vectorization, function inlining, and the transformation of async functions into state machines.
Feedback and discussions are welcome!
