Learning Rust in 2024<\/h3>\n

This summer I decided it was high time to learn some Rust<\/a>. For those who lived under a rock for the past 9 years or so, Rust is a modern systems programming language<\/strong> with an ambitious goal: to provide the same performance and efficiency<\/strong> of languages such as C and C++, while avoiding their pitfalls — namely, the dreaded nasal demons<\/a> of undefined behavior.<\/p>\n

Rust’s popularity is steadily increasing<\/a>, with Internet giants such as Google<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a> investing in it:<\/p>\n

Had a great time doing a keynote at @ProssimoISRG<\/a> on Microsoft approach to memory safety. <\/p>\n

Made a huge announcement – @microsoft<\/a> is going big on Rust and spending $10 million to make it 1st class language in our engineering systems + $1 million @rustlang<\/a> foundation.\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/E1TdQhHzvB<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/w0EkzAjZaG<\/a><\/p>\n
