The Future of Rust in High-Frequency Trading
Published on November 5, 2024 by Matthias Weber

# The Unmatched Speed of Rust
Rust is rapidly becoming the go-to language for systems programming where performance and safety are paramount. Its unique ownership model prevents data races at compile time, eliminating a whole class of bugs common in C++.
Why Finance?
- In high-frequency trading (HFT), nanoseconds matter. Rust offers:
- Zero-cost abstractions
- Fearless concurrency
- Predictable performance
This makes it ideal for building trading engines like **Rust Rocket**.
fn main() {
println!("Hello, financial world!");
}Our journey with Rust has been transformative, allowing us to build systems that are both incredibly fast and remarkably stable.
