In an era where many predict that AI will take over programming, learning new languages might seem unnecessary. However, learning Rust might be very interesting and valuable for AI implementations.

Even though AI will play a major role, it needs to be written and implemented in a way that is safe and super fast — qualities that Rust offers.

Known for its strong performance, safety, and ability to handle multiple tasks at once, Rust provides the tools needed for today’s AI&ML tech challenges.

Installation

Go to this site to install Rust or this to install aslo IDE — it’s quite easy!, but for testing you can go to playground via your browswer

Playground

To test Rust you can start fro using official web based plaground

What Rust offers for AI&ML?

  • Performance and Efficiency: Rust’s low-level control and zero-cost abstractions (e.g., Rust compiler optimizes code so that the resulting machine code is as…
