Why might Rust be a smart choice for developers today?
Video Version
Rust was recently added to the Linux kernel, the first new language in nearly 30 years, endorsed by Linus Torvalds himself. It’s gaining traction for its focus on safety and reliability.
DARPA is backing Rust, aiming to convert millions of lines of C code to eliminate common security vulnerabilities.
Google reports that developers using Rust are twice as productive compared to C++. It's been crucial in reducing memory usage and defects in projects like Android.
Microsoft and Google have each invested $1 million in Rust's growth, showing confidence in its future.
Rust has been voted the most admired programming language by developers for many years in a row, even surpassing Kotlin in popularity and closing in on GO.
If you're considering a language that’s fast, safe, and gaining wide trust, Rust is worth a look.
