- Currently Offered
Rust is an open-source systems programming language focused on performance, reliability, and memory safety.
Rust is an open-source systems programming language stewarded through the Rust Foundation and known for combining speed and memory efficiency with compile-time memory-safety and thread-safety guarantees. Its ownership model eliminates many classes of bugs at compile time, and the language ships with integrated tooling including the Cargo package manager and build tool, documentation, and an auto-formatter. The project releases on a six-week train, and the crates.io registry hosts more than 180,000 packages.
Rust's documented focus areas include command-line tools, network services, WebAssembly, and embedded systems. The language is used in production by companies building web services, network protocols, servers, databases, and operating-system components, and the first stable release, Rust 1.0, shipped in May 2015.
