Introduction For decades, the world of system programming has been dominated by C and C++. While these languages are powerful and flexible, they come with inherent risks—buffer overflows, memory leaks, and undefined behavior are familiar headaches for developers. In the last decade, however, Rust has emerged as a modern programming language that promises both performance and safety. In this blog post, we'll dive into Rust's features, its growing adoption, and why it is being hailed as the future of safe systems programming. What is Rust? Developed by Mozilla Research and first released in 2010, Rust is a statically typed, compiled language designed for performance and reliabil ...

Introduction For decades, systems programming has been dominated by languages like C and C++. While incredibly powerful, they pose significant challenges when it comes to memory safety and concurrent programming. Enter Rust, a modern programming language developed by Mozilla Research, which aims to provide memory safety, concurrency, and performance—without sacrificing productivity. Why Rust? Memory Safety Without Garbage Collection One of Rust's hallmark features is its ownership model. Unlike traditional languages that rely on garbage collection or manual memory management, Rust enforces memory safety at compile time through strict rules around ownership, borrowing, an ...
