We were explaining slice to a beginner in Rust 众 telegram and found that slice diagram were missing. It should be beside Vec and Box explaination.

I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't this cover slices (under "References & Pointers")?

The reason it's not near Vec is because those types use heap storage.

Ok, I realized the visualizations were actually not that clear around slices, and I assume you meant the difference between true slices [T] and slice references &[T].

I pushed an update, please let me know if you think this clarifies things.
