A compiler is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language), with the latter often having a binary form known as object code.

The most common reason for converting source code is to create an executable program.

An assembly (or assembler) language, often abbreviated asm, is a low-level programming language for a computer, or other programmable device, in which there is a very strong (generally one-to-one) correspondence between the language and the architecture's machine code instructions.

Each assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture.

In contrast, most high-level programming languages are generally portable across multiple architectures but require interpreting or compiling.

Assembly language may also be called symbolic machine code.

In computing, source code is any collection of computer instructions, possibly with comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as ordinary text.

The source code of a program is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers, who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing source code.

The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code understood by the computer.

The machine code might then be stored for execution at a later time.

Alternatively, source code may be interpreted and thus immediately executed.

Rust is a general purpose programming language sponsored by Mozilla Research.

It is designed to be a "safe, concurrent, practical language", supporting functional and imperative-procedural paradigms.

Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but is designed for better memory safety while maintaining performance.

In computing, input/output or I/O (or, informally, io or IO) is the communication between an information processing system, such as a computer, and the outside world, possibly a human or another information processing system.

Inputs are the signals or data received by the system and outputs are the signals or data sent from it.

The term can also be used as part of an action; to "perform I/O" is to perform an input or output operation.
