Rust Development¶

Note

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rust is a general-purpose programming language emphasizing performance, type safety, and concurrency. It enforces memory safety, meaning that all references point to valid memory. It does so without a traditional garbage collector; instead, both memory safety errors and data races are prevented by the “borrow checker”, which tracks the object lifetime of references at compile time. Rust began as a personal project in 2006 by Mozilla Research employee Graydon Hoare, named after the group of fungi that are “over-engineered for survival”. Mozilla began sponsoring the project in 2009, and would employ a dozen engineers to work on it full time over the next ten years.
