What is a Rust?

Rust is intended to be a language for highly concurrent and highly safe systems, and programming in the large, that is, creating and maintaining boundaries that preserve large-system integrity.

Rust aims “to be as efficient and portable as idiomatic C++, without sacrificing safety (Wikipedia)

How widely used is it?

From a blog post:

Rust is much loved (by 86% of developers) but only 3% currently use it.
