What is Rust?
summary
Rust claims to eliminate segfaults and most memory leaks by enforcing ownership and borrowing at compile time instead of using a GC, giving no runtime GC yet automatic deallocation. Real work: a Skylight prototype replaces Ruby protobuff serialization via the Ruby FFI and cargo, drops memory to a few megabytes and runs reliably. Mozilla’s Servo uses Rust to experiment with off‑main‑thread layout and passes Acid2, demonstrating zero-cost abstractions plus safe, performant concurrency.
