When you think about Rust, you might think of performance, safety, and reliability, but what about productivity? Historically associated with systems programming, Rust's promise of safety, speed, and concurrency has led to its widespread adoption at the infrastructure level.

Rust is one of the most energy-efficient and safe programming languages. With Rust, it may be possible to reduce the environmental impact of the IT industry by 50% and prevent 70% of all high-severity CVEs.

Today’s networking infrastructure software has stringent requirements. It must not only be fast, but also safe—that is, able to process untrusted data without crashing or being vulnerable to security exploits).
