rust-lang/rust

rust-lang/rust is the main source code repository for the Rust programming language, according to its own README: it holds the compiler, the standard library, and the project's documentation together in one place. The README frames Rust around three points: performance suited to critical services and embedded devices, reliability from a type system and ownership model that catch memory and thread-safety bugs at compile time, and productivity through tooling like Cargo, rustfmt, Clippy, and rust-analyzer. It's licensed under a dual MIT/Apache-2.0 scheme with some BSD-like licensed portions, and its Rust and Cargo trademarks are owned by the Rust Foundation.
