# The Rust Programming Language

Rust is a fast systems programming language that guarantees
memory safety and offers painless concurrency ([no data races]).
It does not employ a garbage collector and has minimal runtime overhead.
This is the main source code repository for [Rust]. It contains the compiler, standard library,
and documentation.

This repo contains the code for the compiler (`rustc`), as well
as standard libraries, tools and documentation for Rust.
