Exploring Rust: Evolution and Adoption

Rust is a systems programming language created by Graydon Hoare in 2006 and first released by Mozilla in 2010. It is designed for performance, safety, and concurrency, with a focus on memory safety without a garbage collector. Rust’s ownership model ensures safe memory management, making it viable for tasks that require control over system resources, such as embedded systems, web assembly, and game development.
