-Rust is an attempt of Mozilla to find a sweet spot in the design space of programming languages: A language that's safe to use, convenient for programmers, provides low-level control (making it a systems language) and guards against memory errors and thread unsafety.

 Let me just use this opportunity for a shameless plug: If you are curious and want to learn Rust, check out [Rust-101](https://www.ralfj.de/projects/rust-101/main.html), a hands-on Rust tutorial I wrote.
 I am going to assume some basic familiarity with Rust in the following.
