A C++ Programmer’s View on Rust

Rust is a relatively new language that has been voted as the most popular programming language in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey three years in a row and is steadily gaining popularity in programming circles, so what is going on? Rust is presented as a systems programming language that offers both control and memory safety without sacrificing performance. In this presentation, you will get a brief introduction to Rust and learn why Rust claims to provide memory safety without a garbage collector and provides thread-safety at compile time. You will also learn about the Rust ecosystem, what kind of tasks Rust is suitable for and where Rust might not be your preferred choice.
