systems programming, web development, game development, network programming, embedded systems

Key Features

ownership system, zero-cost abstractions, pattern matching, traits/interfaces, algebraic data types, type inference, macros, destructuring, generics, async/await, iterators/generators, modules, first-class functions, closures, native FFI

Typing

static system, non-structural typing, strong typing, full inference, compile-time checking, conservative type coercion, optional type annotations
