A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
Rust is a [multi-paradigm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-paradigm_programming_language) [system programming language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_programming_language) focused on safety, especially safe [concurrency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)). Rust is [syntactically](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)) similar to [C++](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B), but is designed to provide better [memory safety](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety) while maintaining high [performance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_(Computer)).
