Generic Function — Rust Code
Shows a generic function to find the largest element in a list.
fn largest<T: PartialOrd + Copy>(list: &[T]) -> T {
let mut max = list[0];
for &item in list.iter() {
if item > max {
max = item;
}
}
max
}
fn main() {
let nums = vec![10, 20, 5, 30];
println!("Largest: {}", largest(&nums));
}Rust Language Guide
A modern, memory-safe, high-performance systems programming language focused on safety, concurrency, and zero-cost abstractions, designed to replace C/C++ in critical software.
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Systems programming
- ▸WebAssembly applications
- ▸Cloud-native backends
- ▸Blockchain and cryptographic systems
- ▸Embedded systems
- ▸Game engines
- ▸High-performance CLI tools
Notable Features
- ▸Memory safety without garbage collection
- ▸Ownership and borrowing system
- ▸Zero-cost abstractions
- ▸Powerful package manager (Cargo)
- ▸Pattern matching and algebraic data types
- ▸Fearless concurrency
Origin & Creator
Created by Graydon Hoare at Mozilla Research, first public release in 2010, and stable 1.0 released in 2015. Originated as a personal project, later backed by Mozilla. Evolved through Rust 2015, 2018, and 2021 editions, adding async/await, improved ergonomics, better tooling, Cargo, and a richer standard library.
Industrial Note
Highly adopted in cloud infrastructure, operating system components, cryptography, blockchain systems, safety-critical systems, and WebAssembly. Used by Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cloudflare, and Meta for secure and high-performance services.
