The main source repository of the Rust programming language and its compiler, for people who want to write reliable and efficient software or work on the language itself. rust is an open-source project on GitHub in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Install it from GitHub as its README says. Get Mindket’s setup notes on your Mindket account, as a zip. Made by rust-lang ## About ### What it is This is where the Rust programming language is developed. The repository holds the main source code for the language and its compiler. Rust's stated aim is to let everyone build reliable and efficient software. ### Who it suits Programmers who want to write software in Rust, and contributors who want to read or change the compiler's source. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Software | Programmers | Write programs in the Rust language | A program built with the Rust compiler | | Language tooling | Contributors | Read and change the compiler's source | Following the Contributing page before a change | | Education | Learners | Use the project's learning pages to pick up the language | Starting from the Learn page linked in the README | Anyone who only wants to use another language can skip it. ### How to set it up The README does not hold a setup recipe here. It links to the places that do, so you start from those pages. You need nothing beyond a web browser to begin. - A web browser, to open the linked pages - Git, if you want your own copy of the source 1. Open the README on GitHub. 2. Follow its Getting started link to begin using the language. 3. Use the Learn and Documentation links to study it. 4. Use the Contributing link if you plan to change the source. Run these in a terminal: ```sh # Copy the project to your computer git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git # Go into its folder cd rust ``` ### For newcomers and experts If you are new, you will probably not start in this repository. Rust is a programming language, and the README sends beginners to its Getting started and Learn pages. A first small try is to follow the Getting started link and read from there. If you know the field, this is the source tree for the language and the compiler, which the project tags as its topics. The README is short and points to the website, the documentation and the contribution guide. Changes to the language itself are made here. Open the README → Follow Getting started → Study with Learn and Documentation → Contribute through its guide ### Good to know - Source repository: it holds the language's own code, not a tutorial. Learning material is linked from the README. - License: Apache-2.0. - Cost to run: none named. - Data it reaches: the source names none. ## How to use it Install it from GitHub as its README says.
