Rust is a multi paradigm programming language focused on performance and safety especially safe concurrency.
What is rust programming language used for.
Rust is syntactically similar to c and provides memory safety without using garbage collection but instead through the use of a borrow checking system.
Born out of a personal project by then mozilla developer graydon hoare in 2006 the language like the rust fungus it is named after is starting to spread and today is used to build software for.
The rust programming language is an ambitious project of the mozilla foundation a language that claims to be the next step in evolution of c and c.
Rust language is called a safe programming language as no unsafe keyword is used in the language and it does not allow to do with the coding as well.
This allows existing projects to replace performance critical pieces with speedy rust code without the memory safety risks inherent with other systems programming languages.
Without the need to have a garbage collector continuously running rust projects are well suited to be used as libraries by other programming languages via foreign function interfaces.
Rust was originally designed by graydon hoare at mozilla research with contributions from dave herman brendan eich and others.
The language protects its own abstractions and hence the language is considered a safe programming language.
