Rust is a fast, reliable, and memory-safe programming language empowering developers to build efficient and secure software.
Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
Rust is primarily used by developers and organizations aiming to build high-performance, reliable, and secure applications, including critical services and embedded systems. Its strong type system and ownership model help prevent common bugs at compile-time, making it ideal for application security and system-level programming.
Rust's ownership and type system significantly reduce runtime errors and security vulnerabilities, making it a preferred choice for secure application development. Users should leverage Cargo for dependency management and build automation. Installing from source is not recommended for most users due to complexity. The Rust Foundation manages trademarks and licensing, so users should review trademark policies if branding is involved.
