About Rust

Paradigm

Imperative, Functional, Concurrent

Execution

Compiled

Typing

Static

Null Safety

YES

Memory Management

Ownership System

Rust is a modern, systems-level programming language focused on safety, speed, and concurrency sponsored by Mozilla Research. It provides memory safety without garbage collection through its unique ownership system with compile-time checks. Rust is designed for creating high-performance applications with strict control over system resources.

Benchmarks

This benchmark tests how fast a programming language can perform mathematical computations without any I/O or memory allocation. We are using the Leibniz formula to approximate the value of PI.
