Rust Ecosystem

Definition

The Rust ecosystem comprises the programming language Rust, its tools, libraries, and developer community. Rust is a systems programming language known for its emphasis on memory safety, performance, and concurrency, without requiring a garbage collector. The ecosystem includes essential components such as the Cargo package manager, a robust standard library, and a growing collection of third-party crates (libraries). Its design principles make it particularly suitable for developing high-performance, reliable software, including operating systems, game engines, and blockchain clients.
