Video Facebook is joining the Rust Foundation at its highest member level – and vowed to help make Rust "a mainstream language of choice for systems programming and beyond.”
Rust was conceived at Mozilla Research in 2010 by Graydon Hoare as a C/C++-like programming language with a focus on safety and speed. We like to say Google invented the programming language Go – and Mozilla created No. One thing about Rust is that it refuses to build software that the programmer may not be aware is potentially or straight-up unsafe. The overall result is that you should end up making more reliable software.
