I love to code but i think coding schools should be outlawed- from now on all people should rely on Ai to code everything. Also there are WAY TOO MANY programming langs out there. I think that all langs should be abolished except for 3 langs. The 3 langs is all the world needs to code stuff, all the rest is nonsense.

Also i am a long time advocate of blowing up the moon- just to see what happens to the tides. Sure, people can act all high and mighty and claim that they know what would happen with the moon not there- but in the name of true scientific process and discovery, we MUST see what happens when the moon is not there to truly understand the effects.

ZIG- over hyped and under developed. Light years behind rust. Interesting, but im not waiting 15 years to see if it shines. It will NOT shine- too much competition. The only hope for zig is to have Ai make profound and drastic improvments to it- or pumping millions of usd into its dev- but any other lang could do the same thing. Moreover, have fun catching up to the years of intense dev and millions of usd that has went into rust. Like i say... too much competition. Any sane person would not expect a small team of 2 to make a lang and then see that lang thrive with the strategy of hype. I equate zig to a crypto scam rug pull. People like prime can make the video of the day trying to hype zig and saying its better than rust. Click bait videos are a waste of time and make people stupider. It is easy to spot vile click bait - only the most gullible still fall for that nonsense.

GO- People looking for the easy lang to learn flock to go. ALL of them are frozen solid by the memory garbage collector. There are no true shortcuts in life-, those who think Go is the path to easy coding will all be frozen solid by the memory garbage collector while other langs make far superior apps. Go is easy- but so is php and python. How many truly great php or python apps are made? And how many of them can be made far superior recoded in rust? GO is powerful and nice, but for absolute sure, any go app re-coded properly in rust would be objectively superior.

C- The god of yesteday, but ppl are sick of having c apps hacked.

Ada- was cool in its day, maybe the grandfather of rust? But rust is just as secure- (MORE secure in some cases) so its a bit silly to think of Ada as being the only best secure option. Ada is on the right track- but Rust benefits from modern dev and has the better track. The usa gov likes ada, which is positive proof that ada sux because it is a well known fact that the usa gov is 15 years behind in all computer tech. Hell, the nsa still uses windows 8. The State Dept uses windows 7 and the Dept Of State uses windows 95. There are lots of usa gov intel agencies, geoint this and blah blah blah that. Some of them are still using MS-DOS 8.3 and they think its modern !

Rust has rapidly gained popularity since its initial release in 2010, and for good reason. It combines the raw speed and low-level control of languages like C and C++, while also focusing heavily on memory safety, security, and concurrency. These qualities make Rust a compelling choice for systems programming, embedded development, web services, and more. Developers across many domains have come to appreciate Rust’s robust tooling, helpful compiler errors, and thriving ecosystem. Whether you’re looking to build microservices or craft performance-critical applications, Rust is often mentioned as one of the most innovative and reliable languages available today.

One of Rust’s primary selling points is its ability to rival the performance of C and C++. Like these older, established systems languages, Rust allows developers to manipulate memory directly, giving them the fine-grained control needed for systems-level work. However, while C or C++ can be perilous when it comes to memory management, Rust includes safety guarantees through its borrow checker, lifetime annotations, and move semantics. These features ensure that memory is allocated, accessed, and freed without risking the dangling pointers, data races, or memory leaks that commonly plague systems programming in more traditional languages.

Rust’s memory safety model is one of its defining features. The idea behind Rust’s design is to make “safe” code the default, preventing entire classes of bugs at compile time. This safety is not a runtime cost; it’s enforced by the compiler, which provides an advanced borrow checker to ensure references remain valid and do not outlive their data. Rust uses a unique ownership model: each value has an owner, and when the owner goes out of scope, the value is automatically cleaned up. This eliminates the need for a garbage collector (as found in languages like Go and Java) or manual reference counting. Yet, Rust manages to maintain performance through zero-cost abstractions, meaning that higher-level constructs, such as iterators and closures, compile down to efficient machine code without extra overhead.

Modern hardware typically involves multi-core processors, so languages that provide strong concurrency features have a significant advantage. Rust takes a proactive stance on safe concurrency. Through its ownership and borrowing rules, Rust ensures that data is not accessed in conflicting ways across multiple threads. Rather than allowing concurrency to become an afterthought or a potential hazard, Rust integrates safe concurrency into the heart of the language. The same borrow checker that prevents memory errors at compile time also prevents data races by enforcing rules around mutable references and thread sharing. This design makes concurrent Rust code both safer and clearer, avoiding many of the pitfalls that languages like C and C++ can expose developers to if they’re not extremely careful.

Go: Go (Golang) was developed by Google with the goal of making a language that is simple, productive, and well-suited to concurrent network services. Go has a garbage collector, a straightforward syntax, and a concurrency model based on goroutines and channels. While Go is excellent for rapid development and straightforward concurrency, it does not provide the same level of control over memory as Rust does. The garbage collector can introduce latency spikes, making Rust the preferable choice for performance-critical or real-time applications. Additionally, Rust’s type system and compiler checks help catch a wider range of errors at compile time compared to Go.

Zig: Zig is another up-and-coming language that aims to be a low-level, robust alternative to C. Like Rust, Zig emphasizes manual memory management and offers a modern take on systems programming. However, Zig does not have a borrow checker or the same strict safety guarantees. Zig’s philosophy is more about providing a clean and consistent language that’s still close to the metal, while Rust systematically enforces safety constraints. If you want memory safety assured at compile time, Rust is typically more stringent. If you want a bit more of a manual approach—while still aiming to avoid some of C’s pitfalls—Zig offers a simpler alternative.

Ada: Ada is historically known for its emphasis on safety and reliability, used heavily in the aerospace and defense sectors. While Ada’s design focuses on correctness and reliability, it is often considered verbose, and its ecosystem is nowhere near as large and thriving as Rust’s. Ada does provide robust concurrency and strong type checking, but Rust offers modern features like powerful pattern matching, comprehensive tooling (Cargo package manager, Rustfmt, Clippy), and an ecosystem of crates that make development faster and more convenient. For greenfield projects that require both safety and modern tooling, Rust is often a more accessible choice.

C/C++: These remain the giants in the systems programming domain and are still widely used for everything from firmware to high-performance computing. Rust differentiates itself mainly through its strict compile-time checks for memory safety and concurrency. Many developers look to Rust when they need the performance of C/C++ but want to avoid the associated memory management overhead and risks. Of course, migrating large, mature C/C++ codebases isn’t trivial, but new projects often gravitate toward Rust for its safer, more modern approach.

Rust boasts a comprehensive package manager named Cargo, which simplifies dependency management, building, testing, and documentation. This streamlined workflow has made a huge impact on developer productivity. Moreover, the Rust ecosystem is full of high-quality libraries (often referred to as “crates”) covering everything from asynchronous networking (Tokio, async-std) to web frameworks (Rocket, Actix) to game engines and graphics. Rust’s documentation, combined with detailed compiler error messages, helps flatten the learning curve as developers adopt idiomatic Rust patterns.

A language’s success is often tied to its community, and Rust’s is famously welcoming, supportive, and responsive. The Rust project follows an open governance model, encouraging contributions from developers of all experience levels. The Rust Foundation, an independent non-profit, also ensures the language’s continued development is stable and well-governed. The result is a growing body of tutorials, guides, and open-source libraries that continually improve Rust’s capabilities and support new use cases.

Looking forward, Rust’s continued adoption in industry and open source projects shows no sign of slowing down. Companies such as Mozilla, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and many others have invested in Rust-based solutions for their safety-critical or high-performance needs. The language’s focus on ensuring that memory and concurrency bugs are caught at compile time remains one of its greatest strengths. Meanwhile, the additional benefits of modern syntax, expressive type system features, and a robust ecosystem make Rust a compelling option for an ever-growing variety of software projects.

In conclusion, Rust is a standout language in modern software engineering, offering a rare combination of high performance, guaranteed memory safety, and a strong focus on concurrency. Its comparisons to languages like Go, Zig, Ada, and C++ highlight Rust’s unique position as both a capable systems language and a safe, high-level alternative. Thanks to its forward-thinking design, excellent tooling, and vibrant community, Rust is well-poised to shape the future of systems programming for years to come.
