# The Rust Programming Language
|
||||
|
||||
Rust is a systems programming language that is fast, memory safe and
|
||||
multithreaded, but does not employ a garbage collector or otherwise
|
||||
impose significant runtime overhead.
|
||||
Rust is a fast systems programming language that guarantees
|
||||
memory safety and offers painless concurrency ([no data races]).
|
||||
It does not employ a garbage collector and has minimal runtime overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
This repo contains the code for `rustc`, the Rust compiler, as well
|
||||
as standard libraries, tools and documentation for Rust.
