Rust

Rust is a systems programming language that combines extreme speed with guaranteed memory safety — without the need for garbage collection.

Core Concept

The ownership model: Rust prevents entire classes of errors (such as buffer overflows and data races) at compile time. This makes it the ideal choice for security-critical infrastructure.

Assessment

• Use case: High-performance services, cryptography, browser components, and WebAssembly (Wasm).
• Advantage: Unrivalled safety at C-like speed and a very modern package manager (Cargo).
• Limitation: Very steep learning curve (borrow checker) and significantly longer development times than languages such as Go or Python.
