Key features:

• (mostly) Static memory management
• Advanced type system
• LLVM-backed compiler with "write once, run anywhere"
• Open governance and decentralized development

There are drawbacks:

• weird proposals
• the compiler uses a lot of resources
• the syntax can be heavy sometimes
• it's anemic standard library. It's a nightmare of supply chain security. The rust needs an official extended standard library packages for all the most common tasks: base64, crypto, rand, uuid...
