2. Rust

Average Annual Salary: $26,640

Rust, a versatile programming language, prioritizes performance, type safety, and concurrency. Renowned for enforcing memory safety without relying on garbage collection, it utilizes a “borrow checker” during compilation to prevent data races. Influenced by functional programming, Rust, created by Graydon Hoare in 2006 and sponsored by Mozilla in 2009, gained traction after its stable release in 2015. Adopted by major companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google, Rust made history in December 2022 as the first language supported in the Linux kernel’s development, aside from C and assembly.
