An open source programming language, Rust has grown quite popular over the last few years. Developed as a pet project by one-time Mozilla developer Graydon Hoare in 2006 and backed by the LLVM, Rust is extremely fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread and memory safety. Rust also supports zero-cost abstractions, move semantics, threads without data races, trait-based generics, type inference, efficient C bindings, minimal runtime, and pattern matching.

Used by companies like Dropbox, Red Hat, and NPM, Rust is a multiparadigm language that is focused on performance and safety. The Rust language is similar to C++ and can run on numerous platforms.
