Programming language

• Compiled language
  • Compiled directly to native machine code with strict compile-time checks
• High performance (as fast as C/C++)
  • No garbage collector (No GC pauses)
    • Predictable performance
• Memory safety (no null pointer, no data race)
  • Ownership & borrowing
    • Compiler checks memory safety at compile time
• Safe concurrency (great for multi-threading)

Where Rust is used

• System tools (OS components, CLI tools)
• Backend services
• Blockchain
• Desktop apps (via Tauri)

Workflow:

1. Rust source code (.rs)
2. Rust compiler (rustc)
3. Native machine code
4. Executable binary
