Why Rust?
- Rust's ownership and borrowing system ensures memory safety and eliminates the possibility of data races, making it a safer option for systems programming.
- Rust's performance is comparable to that of C and C++, while offering higher-level abstractions and syntax that make it more accessible to developers.
History
Graydon Hoare was a student at University of British Columbia when he began working on what would eventually become Rust. Initially, the language was a personal project that aimed to combine the performance of C and C++ with the safety and convenience of modern programming languages. Since then, Rust has gained popularity in the systems programming community and has been adopted as a sponsored project by Mozilla.
