## Language Overview
Rust is a systems programming language with a focus on type safety,
memory safety, and performance. It is intended for writing large, high
performance applications while preventing several classes of errors
commonly found in languages like C++. Rust has a sophisticated memory
model that enables many of the efficient data structures used in C
while disallowing invalid memory access that would otherwise cause
segmentation faults. Like other systems languages it is statically
typed and compiled ahead of time.

As a multi-paradigm language it has strong support for writing code in
procedural, functional and object-oriented styles. Some of it's nice
