Rust supports multiple [[programming paradigm]]s. It was influenced by ideas from [[functional programming]], including [[Immutable object|immutability]], [[higher-order function]]s, [[algebraic data type]]s, and [[pattern matching]]. It also supports [[object-oriented programming]] via structs, [[Union type|enums]], traits, and methods.
Software developer [[Graydon Hoare]] created Rust as a personal project while working at [[Mozilla]] Research in 2006. Mozilla officially sponsored the project in 2009. The first stable release of Rust, Rust 1.0, was published in May 2015. Following a large layoff of Mozilla employees in August 2020, multiple other companies joined Mozilla in sponsoring Rust through the creation of the [[#Rust Foundation|Rust Foundation]] in February 2021. In December 2022, Rust became the first language other than [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[Assembly language|assembly]] to be supported in the development of the [[Linux kernel]].
Rust has been noted for its adoption in many software projects, especially [[web services]] and [[system software]]. It has been studied academically and has a growing community of developers.
