This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support. Rust is a modern systems programming language that prioritizes safety and performance. Developed by Mozilla and first released in 2010, Rust addresses common issues found in other languages, such as memory leaks, race conditions, and buffer overflows, through its unique ownership system. This system enforces strict memory management rules at compile-time, eliminating many classes of runtime errors without a garbage collector. Rust syntax and features are designed to make writing safe code easier while still providing the low-level control required for system-level programming. It offers zero-cost abstractions, ensuring that the high-level abstractions you use do not come at a performance cost.
