+Rust
+
+Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually resembles the C language family,
+but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details. 
+
+Its design is oriented toward concerns of "programming in the large", that is, of creating and
+maintaining boundaries - both abstract and operational - that preserve large-system integrity,
+availability and concurrency.
+
+It supports a mixture of imperative procedural, concurrent actor, object-oriented and pure functional styles.
+Rust also supports generic programming and metaprogramming, in both static and dynamic styles.
+
+A short summary of features:
+
+Type system: static, nominal, linear, algebraic, locally inferred
+Memory safety: no null or dangling pointers, no buffer overflows
+Concurrency: lightweight tasks with message passing, no shared memory
+Generics: type parameterization with type classes
+Exception handling: unrecoverable unwinding with task isolation
+Memory model: optional task-local GC, safe pointer types with region analysis
+Compilation model: ahead-of-time, C/C++ compatible
