Rust programming language

Rust is a high-performance systems programming language designed for safety and concurrency. It was originally conceived by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research in 2006. The project transitioned from a corporate-led initiative to a community-driven model with the official launch of the Rust Foundation in 2021.

Today, the development of Rust is decentralized, involving a global network of contributors and maintainers from multiple countries. The ecosystem is supported by major technology companies worldwide that contribute to its codebase and use it for critical infrastructure. Ownership is managed by a non-profit organization that ensures the language remains open-source and independent of any single corporate entity.
