Outputs Hello World to the console using the println! macro. You must wrap your program in the 'main' function.

!!!Variable Declaration and Concatenation

    [[gray:'''let''' a =]] [[teal:10]][[gray:;]]\\
    [[gray:'''let''' b =]] [[teal:7]][[gray:;]]\\

    // Throws an error\\
    [[gray:println'''!(]]'''[[red:"Hello and {}"]][[gray:, c''')''';]]\\
    // Outputs Hello and hi\\
'''[[gray:}]]'''\\

Rust uses the let keyword to declare variables for all data types; unusual for a low level language. Rust will not concatenate a string and a number automatically and will throw an error in the compiler.

!!!For Loops

    [[gray:'''for''' i '''in''']] [[teal:0]]..[[teal:10]] '''[[gray:{]]'''\\
[[gray:println'''!(''']][[red:"{}"]],i'''[[gray:)]]''';\\
    '''[[gray:}]]'''\\

Rust’s for loops work a bit differently than in other languages. In this example, 0..10 is an expression that takes a start and an end position, and gives an iterator over those values. The upper bound is exclusive though, so the loop will print 0 through 9, not 10.

Rust began as side project of Mozilla employee, Graydon Hoare. Mozilla got involved in 2009 and sponsored the language once it was mature enough to run basic tests and demonstrate its core concepts. Featuring both Mozilla and Non-Mozilla developers, Rust is developed by a diverse and global community of enthusiasts. Rustc (Rust's compiler) has over 1,000 unique contributors.

Outputs Hello World to the console.
