What a .rs file is
Rust came out of Mozilla Research and reached 1.0 in 2015; its borrow checker prevents whole classes of memory bugs without a garbage collector. A .rs file is plain text built by cargo, the project and dependency tool that every Rust project uses. It now appears in the Linux kernel, Firefox and Windows components.
Converting it
A .rs file is commonly converted to .exe or .txt. It is a plain text format, so any text editor can open and edit it directly.
