Rust Programming Language Overview
Rust is a free, open-source systems programming language focused on performance, reliability, and memory safety without a garbage collector. Its ownership-and-borrowing model lets the compiler guarantee memory and thread safety at compile time, which prevents whole classes of bugs common in C and C++. Rust is installed through rustup, the official toolchain installer, which sets up the Rust compiler (rustc), the Cargo build system and package manager, and lets you manage multiple toolchains and targets for cross-compilation. Rust is used for systems software, command-line tools, WebAssembly, and increasingly in performance-critical parts of larger applications. The offline installer/rustup installs without a network connection, though additional components are fetched separately.
