> Rust doesn’t allow you to handle memory allocation failure. This is being worked on? I didn’t know this about Rust and it seems odd for a low level language.

The standard library panics upon allocation failure, but allocation is a library thing, not a language thing. You can handle failure if you do it yourself. Eventually we have a path forward to handling it for those data structures too, but we’re not quite there yet.

This wasn’t a big concern because when you’re doing OS level stuff you’re generally not using the standard library anyway.
