The Rust Programming Language

Parallelism and security are two of the biggest technological
challenges Mozilla faces in developing next-generation web technology.
Yet despite its shortcomings on both scores, C++ is still the tool of
choice for systems engineering at Mozilla. We have recently begun
investing in the development of Rust, a new systems programming
language designed with memory safety, pervasive concurrency, and
task-level parallelism at its core. In this talk I will give an
overview of the current design of Rust as well as some of our thoughts
for upcoming features.
