Overview of Rust Programming Language

Rust is primarily known as a systems programming language, originally intended to replace C and C++ for low-level system tasks. However, its applicability has expanded significantly, becoming a general-purpose language versatile enough for web development and other domains. The language's design emphasizes performance, safety, and concurrency while prioritizing memory safety without relying on a garbage collector. Key to its safety features is Rust's ownership model, which ensures efficient memory management, making it ideal for those working with system resources.
