Back in September 2022, Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich said that software projects that may have started in C/C++ should use Rust. Now, this recommendation extends beyond new projects and calls ...

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.

"Rust provides a memory-safe alternative to C and C++ with comparable performance and code size," they note. "Additionally it supports interoperability with C with no overhead." ...

Rust Code Analysis Services simplify code analysis processes for ISO 26262, ISO 21434, DO-178C, AUTOSAR, CERT-C and many other standards. Additionally, one of the many benefits of Rust to developers ...

Last night I coded a feature for Handle, adding to the roughly 85,000 lines of Sysinternals C/C++ code I've written. That said, I'll bias towards Rust for new tools." ...

Its top 10 were JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, C#, CSS, C++, TypeScript, Ruby, C, and Swift. Rust was in 19th spot. Notably, though, Java was not one of the languages to see much growth on GitHub.

C++’s thread safe smart pointers are three times slower than Java references. And Java has HotSpot Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which features just-in-time (JIT) compilation for better performance.

Rust, which compiles to native machine code, is considered on par with C in terms of performance. However, not everyone was immediately on board with Russinovich’s suggestion.
