What is Rust?

Rust is a general-purpose, low-level programming language created by Mozilla. It's specifically designed as a systems programming language, prioritizing safety, concurrency, and practicality. While its syntax shares similarities with C++, Rust offers significantly improved memory safety without sacrificing performance. Its popularity is rapidly growing, recently earning the title of "most loved programming language" in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey. It's a key technology for building reliable and secure software.
