Wikipedia definition

Rust is a multi-paradigm systems programming language focused on safety , especially safe concurrency .

Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but is designed to provide better memory safety while maintaining high performance.

Rust was originally designed by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research, with contributions from Dave Herman, Brendan Eich, and others.

The designers refined the language while writing the Servo layout engine and the Rust compiler.

The compiler is free and open-source software dual-licensed under the MIT License and Apache License 2.0.
