Rust is a powerful and modern systems programming language known for its emphasis on safety and memory management. One of the language's key features is its ownership system, which enables Rust to achieve memory safety without the need for a garbage collector. In this paper, we delve into the concept of ownership in Rust and make a case for its superiority over the use of references. We explore the advantages of ownership, discuss the pitfalls of references, and illustrate our points with code examples to demonstrate the importance of embracing ownership for black box function interfaces. By the end of this paper, readers will gain a deeper understanding of Rust's ownership system and the benefits it brings to software development.
