@ -44,17 +44,6 @@ the string is valid for the `'static` lifetime, otherwise known as the
lifetime of the entire program. As can be inferred from the type, these static
strings are not mutable.
# Mutability
Many languages have immutable strings by default, and Rust has a particular
flavor on this idea. As with the rest of Rust types, strings are immutable by
default. If a string is declared as `mut`, however, it may be mutated. This
works the same way as the rest of Rust's type system in the sense that if
there's a mutable reference to a string, there may only be one mutable reference
to that string. With these guarantees, strings can easily transition between
being mutable/immutable with the same benefits of having mutable strings in
other languages.
# Representation
Rust's string type, `str`, is a sequence of unicode scalar values encoded as a
