Rust — Hello World
The classic hello-world in Rust — fn main and the println! macro — for testing highlighters, rustc, and parsers.
// The classic first program, in Rust.
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");

What is a .rs file?
Rust (.rs) is a plain-text source file for the Rust programming language — a statically typed, compiled systems language focused on memory safety without a garbage collector, enforced by its ownership and borrow checker. It features enums with data, pattern matching, traits, generics, and a strong type system.
How to use this file
Use an example .rs file to test syntax highlighters, the rustc compiler and cargo, rustfmt and clippy, and parser or language-detection tooling against real Rust constructs.
