Rust programming language

For anyone wanting to learn Rust I recommend using "The Book" on their website, https://rust-lang.org . It'll teach you the syntax of Rust, it's idiomatic usage, and all of the concepts it uses that aren't readily available in many languages. Many people like skipping this process and instead looking at examples or using another form of learning. This is all well and good, but many people do this and then complain that they don't understand the rules of ownership and mutability.

Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language focused on performance and safety, especially safe concurrency Rust is syntactically similar to C++. If you want to be included in the course, report to info@sololearn.com

A Green Hat Hacker There are several mechanisms that can make a language save. For example a garbage collector can manage the memory for you in the background so you can't make any mistakes with the memory (like in Go for example). But this harms the performance. Rust however, checks your code while it is compiling and guarantees you that you don't have any memory related error (which are about 70% of all security issues). There other things that make Rust save but in short it's usually as simple as "your code doesn't compile if it has a safety issue"
