Rust is a systems programming language with three objectives: safety, speed, and concurrency. It achieves these goals without the use of a garbage collector, making it a valuable language for a variety of use cases that other languages aren't good at, including embedding in other languages, programs with specific space and time requirements, and writing low-level code, such as device drivers and operating systems.
It improves on existing languages in this field by incorporating a number of compile-time safety checks that create no runtime cost while removing all data races. Rust likewise strives towards 'zero-cost abstractions', even though some of these abstractions resemble high-level language. Even so, Rust provides exact control in the same way that a low-level language would.
