Did you know that the Rust programming language is an improved option for C and C++? In this opportunity, we talk to you about its characteristics, advantages and utilities. Read on and find out if it can be a good technology for your next project.
What is Rust?
Rust is a programming language developed by Mozilla, used to write command line tools, web applications, and network programs. Also, this language can be used for low-level programming.
Features of Rust
- It is object oriented.
- It has a simple interface.
- It has automatic save management.
- It is Immutable, concurrent and multiparadigmatic.
- It has native and static compilation.
- It is cross-platform.
- It has explicit memory control.
- It is practical, powerful, safe and fast.
- It allows UTF8 strings.
Advantages of Rust
- Being a compiled language, it guarantees high performance.
- It provides abstractions that greatly facilitate the programmer’s job.
- Since it is free and open source software, anyone can use it.
- It also allows you to create libraries.
- It has a syntax very similar to the one of C and C++.
What is Rust for?
Rust was built to potentially match the speed of C++, while avoiding memory issues and minimizing bugs in your code.
Today, this is the language on which much of Servo, the Firefox browser, is supported. It handles a modern syntax, which makes it suitable for running web applications at a speed very close to native apps.
Being a multipurpose language, which goes beyond the internal development of a browser, Rust has tools to create APIs, HTTP clients and database connectors. It is used to program applications with embedded systems that are used to execute control tasks at a very low cost size.
Among the most recognized companies that use Rust in their developments are: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Meta, and Google (for Android and Google Cloud).
