Why is Rust becoming so popular for systems programming?
Rust is designed with memory safety in mind, meaning it eliminates common issues like null pointer dereferencing or buffer overflows at compile-time.

It offers similar performance to C++ but has a more modern syntax and stricter compile-time checks that reduce runtime errors.

Rust’s borrow checker makes it easy to manage memory without a garbage collector, which is a huge advantage in performance-critical applications.

Many developers prefer Rust because it’s easier to maintain large codebases without worrying about low-level memory bugs.

It’s ideal for developers who need the speed of C++ but with more safety guarantees, especially in embedded systems and operating systems.
