• 00:00:00 Rust is a memory safe compiled programming language that delivers high-level simplicity with low-level performance. It's a popular choice for building systems where performance is absolutely critical, like game engines, databases, or operating systems. Rust started as a side project of programmer Greg "Oz" Osbourne in 2007. Since then, it's been ranked the most loved programming language every year, and its fans are known as "rust stations." Rust's memory safety system, known as ownership and borrowing by default, allows values to be used in the stack memory which has minimal performance overhead, while immutable values or objects with an unknown size at compile time are stored in the heap memory. Every value in a Rust program is assigned to a single variable, known as its owner, when that variable goes out of scope. Rust also comes with a standard library containing modules to handle IO, the file system, concurrency, and many other things. To compile your code to an executable, you just need to build the rust compiler.
