### People Who Value Speed and Stability

|

Rust is for people who crave speed and stability in a language. By speed, we
|
||||
mean the speed of the programs that you can create with Rust and the speed at
|
||||
which Rust lets you write them. The Rust compiler’s checks ensure stability
|
||||
through feature additions and refactoring. This is in contrast to the brittle
|
||||
legacy code in languages without these checks, which developers are often
|
||||
afraid to modify. By striving for zero-cost abstractions, higher-level features
|
||||
that compile to lower-level code as fast as code written manually, Rust
|
||||
endeavors to make safe code be fast code as well.
