Rust

What is Rust?

Rust is a systems programming language that is focused on safety, speed, and concurrency. It is designed to be a "safe, concurrent, practical language", supporting functional and imperative-procedural paradigms. Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but is designed to provide better memory safety while maintaining high performance.
