Rust (programming language)
Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language. Rust
emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency. Rust enforces
memory safety—that is, that all references point to valid memory—without
requiring the use of a garbage collector or reference counting present
in other memory-safe languages. To simultaneously enforce memory safety
and prevent concurrent data races, Rust's borrow checker tracks the
object lifetime and variable scope of all references in a program during
compilation. Rust is popular for systems programming but also offers
high-level features including functional programming constructs.Software
developer Graydon Hoare created Rust as a personal project while working
at Mozilla Research in 2006. Mozilla officially sponsored the project in
2009. Rust's major influences include SML, OCaml, C++, Cyclone, Haskell,
and Erlang. Since the first stable release in January 2014, Rust has
been adopted by companies including Amazon, Discord, Dropbox, Facebook
(Meta), Google (Alphabet), and Microsoft.
Rust has been noted for its growth as a newer language and has been the
subject of academic programming languages research.
