10. Conclusion

The Rust programming language, like C, provides low-level functionalities that enable direct interaction with the operating system and underlying hardware. Like C, it has no runtime environment, giving it good, predictable performance. This makes it ideal for writing operating system functions or embedded software on devices without an operating system. The compiler produces an intermediate representation in LLVM code.

Unlike C, it features an original and powerful memory model, which, combined with the type system, guarantees a high level of program reliability, by preventing random interferences between functions and memory leaks: at any given moment, a value is owned by one function and one function only, even if other functions can read access to it via a "possess and lend" mechanism.

Rust's type system is comprehensive and robust, allowing...
