This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
Read "Installation" from The Book.
If you really want to install from source (though this is not recommended), see INSTALL.md.
This repository also contains the rust-bootstrap project, an initiative to replace the existing Python-based bootstrap with a Rust-native solution. This project aims for a robust, formally verifiable, and deeply bootstrapped Rust compiler, specifically targeting environments like ARM64 Termux.
For detailed development documentation, including project goals, architecture, development principles, and guidance for contributors, please refer to the Development Documentation.
All major development phases and features for rust-bootstrap are managed through Change Request (CRQ) documents, located in the docs/crqs/ directory.
As part of the rust-bootstrap initiative, a new command-line interface tool, git-analyzer-cli, has been developed. This tool allows for independent analysis of Git repositories, extracting detailed information about commits, blobs, trees, tags, and references, and storing this data in Parquet files for further analysis and metrics. It also includes robust error handling for missing Git objects, logging them to a separate errata file.
