The Rust Programming Language: A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software

[Website][Rust] | [Getting started] | [Learn] | [Documentation] | [Contributing]

This is the main source code repository for [Rust]. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

[Rust]: https://www.rust-lang.org/ [Getting Started]: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started [Learn]: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn [Documentation]: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn#learn-use [Contributing]: CONTRIBUTING.md

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool ([Cargo]), auto-formatter ([rustfmt]), linter ([Clippy]) and editor support ([rust-analyzer]).
