[Website](https://www.rust-lang.org/) | [Getting started](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started) | [Learn](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn) | [Documentation](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn#learn-use) | [Contributing](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

This is the main source code repository for [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/). It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

## Why Rust?

- **Performance:** Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
- **Reliability:** Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
- **Productivity:** Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool ([Cargo](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo)), auto-formatter ([rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt)), linter ([Clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy)) and editor support ([rust-analyzer](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer)).
