Rust Programming Language

Rust, a robust systems programming language developed by Mozilla, is recognized for its emphasis on performance, reliability, and safety. This language is defined by three key features. First, its ownership system enforces strict rules on memory management, preventing common programming errors. Second, it offers zero-cost abstractions, allowing developers to use high-level language constructs without compromising performance. Lastly, Rust's strong type system enhances code safety and prevents type-related errors, contributing to a reliable and secure development environment.

Trial

For the developers at Factorial we're building our own PaaS in Rust, using Docker Compose for the container management.

Trial

At Factorial we've begun experimenting with Rust to build small self-contained services, i.e. a progress service to keep track of operations that are carried out by other services. Stephan built a command line program that is able to recursively retrieve gigantic sitemaps.
