Rust tip: (Unix) drop the current user privileges

Brief

Rust is a modern programing language which is claimed to be blazingly fast and memory-efficient. It syntactically similar to C++, but is designed to provide better memory safety while maintaining high performance and productivity:

• Zero cost abstraction: allow a perfect balance between performance and productivity
• Memory efficient with no runtime or garbage collector
• Memory safe: Rust does not permit null pointers, dangling pointers, or data races in safe code.
• Memory management using an ownership model guarantee memory-safety and thread-safety .
• Great documentation, easy to use compiler and integrated packages/libraries management
• Easy to interface with other language.
• A bit of learning curve for the variable ownership and variable lifetime features.
