New Features in Rust

Now that the latest LTS version of the Linux kernel (version 6.1) includes initial support for Rust, interest in the programming language just keeps growing. 

And, the language keeps evolving, too. “The unique approach of the Rust programming language results in better code with fewer compromises than C, C++, Go, and the other languages you probably use. It also gets updated regularly, often every month,” says InfoWorld.

In this article, Paul Krill and Serdar Yegulalp look at what’s new in the most recent versions. For example, Rust 1.66 includes:

  • A newly stabilized “black_box” function
  • Use of “cargo remove” for removing dependencies
  • Improved runtime performance and memory usage
