Overview
Explore error handling in Rust through this informative conference talk by Luca Palmieri. Gain insights into Rust's unique approach to error management, which relies on the `Result` enum rather than exceptions. Learn how to effectively model and handle errors in various scenarios, addressing common questions and challenges faced by Rust developers. Discover a pragmatic framework for error handling, understand the role of errors in application architecture, and explore best practices for creating good error types. Benefit from Palmieri's expertise as a Principal Engineer and Rust ecosystem contributor as he discusses topics such as error reporting, lazy error types, and the differences between error handling in applications and libraries. Enhance your Rust programming skills and learn to leverage the language's type system for robust error management.
