Rust Introduction


What is Rust?

Rust is a modern programming language.

It is designed for performance, reliability, and safety - especially safe handling of memory.


Why Learn Rust?

  • It is one of the fastest-growing programming languages in the world
  • Learning Rust makes it easier to pick up other languages like Java, Python, C++, and C#, because the syntax is similar.
  • Rust is very fast
  • Rust requires less memory compared to many other languages
  • Rust is used to build web servers, creating games, operating systems, and much more!

Difference between Rust and C\C++

  • The main difference is that Rust is "safe by default".
  • In Rust, memory access is automatically checked by the compiler, which helps you avoid common bugs like crashes, leaks, and unsafe memory behavior.
  • In C and C++, you must manually manage memory, which can lead to errors if you are not careful
