"...If you’re more familiar with a dynamic language, such as Ruby, Python, or JavaScript, you might not be used to compiling and running a program as separate steps. Rust is an ahead-of-time compiled language, meaning you can compile a program and give the executable to someone else, and they can run it even without having Rust installed. If you give someone a .rb, .py, or .js file, they need to have a Ruby, Python, or JavaScript implementation installed (respectively). But in those languages, you only need one command to compile and run your program. Everything is a trade-off in language design." 
Here are the highlights
<ul>
<li>Rust compile and run are separate. Unlike Javascript, you don't compile and run your programs separately.
</li>
<li>Rust is a low-level language. This means you can use it to write very low-level codes for machines, Rasberry Pi etc without so many memory worries.
</li>
<li>It is statically typed, unlike JavaScript or Ruby.
</li>
<li>supports cross-compilation as mentioned in the opening paragraph.

"...If you’re more familiar with a dynamic language, such as Ruby, Python, or JavaScript, you might not be used to compiling and running a program as separate steps. Rust is an *ahead-of-time compiled* language, meaning you can compile a program and give the executable to someone else, and they can run it even without having Rust installed. If you give someone a *.rb*, *.py*, or *.js* file, they need to have a Ruby, Python, or JavaScript implementation installed (respectively). But in those languages, you only need one command to compile and run your program. Everything is a trade-off in language design."

* Rust compile and run are separate. Unlike Javascript, you don't compile and run your programs separately.
    
* Rust is a low-level language. This means you can use it to write very low-level codes for machines, Rasberry Pi etc without so many memory worries.
    
* It is statically typed, unlike JavaScript or Ruby.
    
* supports cross-compilation as mentioned in the opening paragraph.
