The top open item for Visual Studio on Microsoft's Developer Community feedback site asks for native Rust support, but the company has taken little action on the years-old request. Rust popularity has ...

For three decades, Linux has been written in the programming language C. But change could be coming. There's growing momentum behind an effort to make programming language Rust a second language to C ...

At the Linux Plumbers Conference in Richmond, Virginia, Linux and Rust developer Miguel Ojeda gave the Linux kernel developers an update on the state of Rust in the Linux kernel. In brief, Rust Linux ...

For decades, coders wrote critical systems in C and C++. Now they turn to Rust. Many software projects emerge because—somewhere out there—a programmer had a personal problem to solve. That’s more or ...

This week, ZDNet’s Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols asked Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman about the possibility of new Linux kernel code being written in Rust—a high performance but memory-safe ...

Memory safety issues are one of the leading causes of security vulnerabilities in computing systems, including embedded systems. In programming languages like C/C++, developers are expected to manage ...

Reasons abound for Rust’s growing popularity: it’s fast, memory-safe without needing garbage collection, and outfitted with world-class tooling. Rust also allows experienced programmers to selectively ...

Rust is a word associated with cars, usually made in Britain during the 1970s and 80s. In 2023, Rust could well be the word on the lips of every developer, CTO and CIO and for far more positive ...

Every programming language has strengths and weaknesses. Python offers many convenient programming conventions but is computationally slow. Rust gives you machine-level speed and strong memory safety ...

Just last month, we saw the first baby steps toward the adoption of the memory-managed Rust programming language into the Linux kernel. Google has apparently been thinking along the same lines, and in ...
