Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.
It enforces memory safety, meaning that all references point to valid memory, without requiring the use of automated memory management techniques such as garbage collection
History
Rust was created by Graydon Hoare as a personal project in 2006, and later sponsored by Mozilla Research in 2009.
It was influenced by ideas from functional programming, including immutability, higher-order functions, and algebraic data types.
It is popular for systems programming, such as operating systems, game engines, browser engines, and command-line tools
Future
Rust has been adopted by companies such as Amazon, Discord, Dropbox, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.
In December 2022, it became the first language other than C and assembly to be supported in the development of the Linux kernel.
Rust has also been noted for its rapid adoption and has been studied in programming language theory research
Here is an example of Rust
fn main() {
println("Hello, World");
}
