Rust

What Is Rust?

Rust is a programming language that focuses on performance and safety, especially in terms of concurrency. It has similarities to C++ and ensures memory safety by using a borrow checker to validate references.

Rust was designed by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research, with contributions from Dave Herman, Brendan Eich, and others. The language was refined during the development of the Servo layout engine and the Rust compiler.

Over time, Rust has gained popularity in the industry, with companies like Microsoft experimenting with it for safety-critical software components.

Since 2016, Rust has become one of the most beloved languages.

Rust has a comprehensive ecosystem. Along with the compiler, it provides various tools for creating and maintaining production-quality software. “rustup” enables the installation and management of multiple concurrent Rust toolchains, and Rust installations include Cargo, a command-line tool for managing dependencies, generating documentation, and more.
