Rust Programming Language
Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. It enables writing reliable and efficient software through its unique ownership system and rich type system.
Core Concepts
Memory Safety
- Ownership and borrowing
