Why you should be checking out Rust
summary
Rust targets C/C++ use cases and claims C-like performance with zero-cost abstractions while enforcing memory and thread safety via an ownership model that prevents segfaults and data races at compile time. The bundled toolchain cargo fetches dependencies, builds binaries, runs tests and checks code examples, with libraries published on crates.io. Real-world notes include Mozilla using Rust for a browser engine and a Tilde production deployment; historical example: a C reimplementation of moustache drastically cut request times.
