Rust

Programming Languages

Rust is a systems programming language developed originally at Mozilla, designed to provide memory safety and thread safety without a garbage collector through its ownership and borrow-checking model. It is used by developers for performance-critical applications such as operating systems, browsers, game engines, and web backends where C/C++-level speed is needed with fewer memory bugs. It has consistently ranked as one of the most loved languages in developer surveys and is increasingly used at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.
