Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. it visually resembles the c language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details. its design is oriented toward concerns of "programming in the large", that is, of creating and maintaining boundaries - both abstract and operational - that preserve large-system integrity, availability and concurrency.

it supports a mixture of imperative procedural, concurrent actor, object-oriented and pure functional styles. rust also supports generic programming and meta-programming, in both static and dynamic styles.

this package contains the standard rust libraries, built as dylibs.
