Rust on the server
In two to three days you build resource-efficient backend services with Rust - fast, memory-safe and without a garbage collector, thanks to the ownership model and zero-cost abstractions.
Dive into compiled programming with Rust, a blazingly fast, memory-safe language with modern high level features, a powerful ownership model that guarantees safety and efficiency and minimal runtime overhead at the same time.

More about Rust
Rust is a systems programming language that combines performance, reliability, and productivity. Through its unique ownership system, it guarantees memory and thread safety at compile time, without garbage collection or runtime overhead.Further resources:
History
Rust was originally developed by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research, with the goal of creating a safe alternative to C++. The project began in 2006 as a personal project and was officially sponsored by Mozilla in 2009. The first stable version 1.0 was released in 2015.
Development was significantly shaped by Niko Matsakis and Aaron Turon, who developed the unique ownership system and trait-based type system. In 2021, the Rust Foundation was established to independently promote the language's development, with support from companies like AWS, Google, Microsoft, and Meta.
Today, Rust is one of the fastest-growing programming languages and is used for critical systems by companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. The language has not only set new standards for systems languages but also introduced innovative concepts like the ownership system that have influenced other languages. Integration into the Linux kernel and use in WebAssembly have further strengthened Rust's position as a forward-looking systems language.
