Compile and run Rust in the cloud, borrow checker included.
Start coding free →Rust is a compiled, statically typed language built for performance, safety, and concurrency. Developed by Mozilla in the 2010s, it gained traction for systems programming tasks like operating systems, device drivers, and networking. The borrow checker prevents null pointer and memory safety errors at compile time, with no runtime garbage collector. On RunCode, a Rust workspace with cargo and VS Code is ready in under a minute.
Open a Rust workspace →Rust achieves memory safety through its ownership and borrowing rules enforced at compile time. The strong type system catches a broad class of bugs before code runs, including dangling pointers and data races in concurrent code. This makes Rust practical for low-level work that would otherwise require careful manual memory management in C or C++. The language is also used for WebAssembly, CLI tools, and network services. Its developer community is large and active, with extensive documentation, tutorials, and crates available.
Create a workspace and select Rust. Cargo is configured and the toolchain is already installed. Run cargo new to start a project, write code in VS Code, then use cargo build, cargo test, and cargo run from the terminal.
