Rust overview

Rust is blazingly fast and memory-efficient: with no runtime or garbage collector, it can power performance-critical services, run on embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

Rust’s rich type system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and thread-safety - enabling you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time.

Rust has great documentation, a friendly compiler with useful error messages, and top-notch tooling - an integrated package manager and build tool, smart multi-editor support with auto-completion and type inspections, an auto-formatter, and more.

What’s new in version 1.79.0

It took an hour to install this on a newer Mac, but on my trusty 2015 MacBook Pro, it is still running after 4 hours.

Stalling Installer! - - You might want to skip this installer version of Rust. From my experience and checking its log, it gets as far as starting the installation then stalls dead, as in permanent dead. "Running package scripts... Install time remaining: Less than a minute" - - Half an hour later, same. I had to Force Quit the thing. I'll be digging up the previous installer, UNinstalling to be safe, then REinstalling. Yikes.
