About:
Rust is a systems programming language focused on safety, speed, and concurrency. It achieves memory safety without garbage collection through its unique ownership and borrow checker system. This makes it ideal for building reliable and high-performance software.
Key Features:
  • Zero-cost abstractions
  • Memory safety without garbage collection
  • Fearless concurrency
  • Rich type system and pattern matching
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance web services and APIs
  • Developing embedded systems and device drivers
  • Creating command-line tools and system utilities
  • Implementing game engines
Alternatives:
  • C++ – Rust offers similar performance with guaranteed memory safety and concurrency, whereas C++ relies on manual memory management.
  • Go – Go prioritizes simplicity and fast compilation, while Rust offers finer control over performance and memory usage.
