What is the Stack?

Normally managing memory on the heap comes from two ways:

1. a garbage collector doing it for you or
   1. too much runtime overhead
2. using malloc / free to do it yourself
   1. too error prone

The Rust "Borrow Checker" (inside compiler) enforces rules at compile that makes violating memory safety impossible
