Combining Rust and Java can enhance performance and memory management in applications. This guide details how to integrate Rust into Java projects using JNI, covering topics like packaging native libraries, unifying logging, handling async functions, and mapping errors to exceptions. A practical example is provided to demonstrate these integrations effectively.

The article provides an in-depth exploration of Java's garbage collection (GC) mechanisms, detailing how they manage memory in Java applications. It covers various GC algorithms, their characteristics, and how developers can optimize performance while minimizing memory leaks and inefficiencies. Understanding these concepts helps developers make informed decisions about memory management in their Java applications.
