Olá pessoal e sejam bem-vindos à mais um episódio do Castálio Podcast!

Today, we are going to be talking about one of the new programming languages that have attracted attention from programmers and companies around the world. Presented by Mozilla Research as a "Safe, Practical and Concurrent" solution and with the promise of solving known systems programming problems, Rust is also a multi-paradigm and multi-purpose language. And we'll learn more about Rust with Carol Nichols one of its core-developers and author of The Rust Programming Language book.
