Rust
Low-level programming language used to write flexible smart contracts for Solana.

What is Rust?
Rust was developed in 2010 as a versatile language centered on the goal of empowering developers. Developers using Rust can perform safe systems-level operations including memory management and parallelism. As a result, Rust encourages writing extremely fast programs without having to compromise security. In addition to being the main language for writing fast Solana smart contracts, Rust is used for programming with Polkadot, Elrond, NEAR, and Zcash.
