Rust is unique for its focus on memory safety without a garbage collector, its rich type system and ownership model, and its aim to provide zero-cost abstractions for high performance.
Yes, Rust can be used for web development, especially for backend services with frameworks like Rocket and Actix, and for frontend development with WebAssembly.
Rust ensures memory safety through its ownership model, which manages memory at compile time through a system of ownership with a set of rules that the compiler checks at compile time.
Yes, Rust's performance, safety, and concurrency features make it highly suitable for developing secure and efficient blockchain technologies.
Latest trends include its growing use in blockchain, WebAssembly for web applications, development in embedded systems, cloud infrastructure projects, and cross-platform mobile development.
