// At this time, Rust is a language with a pretty unique set of goals. Rust aims to // achieve C++-style control over memory and execution behavior (like, static vs. dynamic // dispatch), which makes it possible to construct abstractions that carry no run-time // cost. This is combined with the comfort of high-level functional languages and guaranteed -// safety (as in, the program will not crash). The vast majority of existing -// languages sacrifices one of these goals for the other. In particular, the -// first requirement rules out a garbage collector: Rust can run "bare metal". -// In fact, Rust rules out more classes of bugs than languages that achieve safety -// with a GC: Besides dangling pointers and double-free, Rust also prevents issues -// such as iterator invalidation and race conditions. +// safety (as in, the program will not crash in uncontrolled ways). The vast majority of existing +// languages sacrifices control for safety (for example, by enforcing the usage of +// a garbage collector) or vice versa. Rust can run without dynamic allocation (i.e., without +// a heap), and even without an operating system. In fact, Rust rules out more classes of bugs +// than languages that achieve safety with a garbage collector: Besides dangling pointers and +// double-free, Rust also prevents issues such as iterator invalidation and data races. Finally, +// it cleans up behind you, and deallocates resources (memory, but also file descriptors and really +// anything) when you don't need them anymore. // // // Getting started // --------------- // // You will need to have Rust installed, of course.
