Language Overview
Rust is a fairly new language, with the first stable version being released in 2014. It has generated a lot of excitment and is often cited as a replacement for much older languages C and C++. It is described as a Systems Programming Language, which means that it is mostly used to build software for your operating system, but it can be used for many more things as well.
