Rust
This section contains snippets of code written in Rust, a systems programming language known for its performance, safety, and concurrency. Rust is designed to provide memory safety without using a garbage collector, making it ideal for system-level programming, web assembly, and other performance-critical applications. The following examples demonstrate various Rust functionalities and best practices to help you understand and implement Rust in your projects effectively.
History
The Rust programming language was developed by Mozilla Research. Here is a brief history:
2010: Graydon Hoare begins working on Rust as a personal project.
2010: Mozilla begins sponsoring the project.
2012: The first pre-alpha release of Rust is made available.
2015: Rust 1.0 is officially released, marking the first stable release of the language.
2016: Rust 1.8 introduces the
cargopackage manager, which becomes a central part of the Rust ecosystem.2018: Rust 1.26 introduces the
impl Traitfeature, simplifying the syntax for returning complex types.2019: Rust 1.36 introduces the
Futuretrait, paving the way for asynchronous programming.2020: Rust 1.45 introduces support for the
const fnfeature, allowing more functions to be evaluated at compile time.2021: Rust 1.51 introduces the
const genericsfeature, allowing more flexible and powerful generic programming.
Rust continues to evolve, with ongoing work to improve the language and add new features.
