It visually resembles the C language family, +but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details. + +Its design is oriented toward concerns of "programming in the large", that is, of creating and +maintaining boundaries - both abstract and operational - that preserve large-system integrity, +availability and concurrency. + +It supports a mixture of imperative procedural, concurrent actor, object-oriented and pure functional styles. +Rust also supports generic programming and metaprogramming, in both static and dynamic styles. + +A short summary of features: + +Type system: static, nominal, linear, algebraic, locally inferred +Memory safety: no null or dangling pointers, no buffer overflows +Concurrency: lightweight tasks with message passing, no shared memory +Generics: type parameterization with type classes +Exception handling: unrecoverable unwinding with task isolation +Memory model: optional task-local GC, safe pointer types with region analysis +Compilation model: ahead-of-time, C/C++ compatible +License: dual MIT / Apache 2 |
