Module 1 - Rust Setup

Why Rust?

The Rome SDK is built using Rust and leverages several key advantages of the language:

• Memory safety and thread safety without garbage collection
• Zero-cost abstractions for high performance
• Rich type system and ownership model that prevents common programming errors
• Excellent package management through Cargo
• Strong interoperability with other languages and systems
