Rust has been noted for its growth as a newer language and has been the subject of academic programming languages research. It has seen adoption in industry by companies including Amazon, Discord, Dropbox, Facebook ( Meta), Google ( Alphabet), and Microsoft. Rust's major influences include C++, OCaml, Haskell, and Erlang. Since its initial appearance in 2010, the designers incrementally refined the language while writing the Servo experimental browser engine and the Rust compiler.
Rust was designed by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research with contributions from Dave Herman, Brendan Eich, and others. Rust can be used for systems programming with mechanisms for low-level memory management, but also offers high-level features such as functional programming. Memory safety is enforced by a borrow checker, which tracks object lifetime and variable scope as references are passed throughout the program during compilation. Rust is known for enforcing memory safety - that is, that all references point to valid memory - without requiring the use of a garbage collector or reference counting like other memory-safe languages. It is designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language.
