Technical White Papers & Documentation

BorrowScope is a personal project I'm building to deepen my understanding of Rust's ownership and borrowing system. The goal is to instrument Rust code and visualize what actually happens at runtime — when values are created, cloned, borrowed, moved, and dropped. It spans multiple crates: a runtime library for event-sourced ownership tracking, a proc macro for automatic instrumentation, a static analyzer that extracts type information using rust-analyzer's semantic APIs, and planned components for graph visualization, memory layout analysis, a CLI, and a web interface. None of this is production-ready — it's a learning and development journal in code form, exploring how far you can push Rust's compile-time and runtime introspection capabilities.
