Rust

Basic idea

Systems language (Mozilla, 2010) that achieves memory safety without garbage collection via an ownership + borrowing type system enforced at compile time. Affine types in production.

Key facts

  • Year / creator: 2010 first release, Graydon Hoare at Mozilla.

  • Paradigm: imperative + functional + trait-based generics.

  • Typing: static, strong; type inference.

  • Memory: ownership / borrowing (affine types); no GC.

  • Concurrency: Send / Sync traits enforce data-race freedom at compile time.
