   1 # Rust by Example
   2
   3 [Rust][rust] is a modern systems programming language focusing on safety, speed,
   4 and concurrency. It accomplishes these goals by being memory safe without using
   5 garbage collection.
   6
   7 Rust by Example (RBE) is a collection of runnable examples that illustrate various Rust
   8 concepts and standard libraries. To get even more out of these examples, don't forget
   9 to [install Rust locally][install] and check out the [official docs][std].
  10 Additionally for the curious, you can also [check out the source code for this site][home].
