What Is Rust Programming Language Good For

Needless to say i m heavily biased here because i love both rust and real time computer graphics but maybe that s not entirely a coincidence.

What is rust programming language good for.

Most of the people that have tried out rust would like to continue using it. Rust was designed primarily as a systems programming language by the mozilla foundation. Like many other languages rust can make use of existing libraries that have a c abi which is a powerful tool for reusing existing code. I recently embarked on an effort to learn rust properly and i wanted to share some of my thoughts.

According to the stackoverflow surveys rust has been the most loved programming language for the last four years in a row. Rust is a multi paradigm programming language focused on performance and safety especially safe concurrency. C does not protect its own abstractions and thus it does not truly allow programmers to protect theirs. I do think that rust the language is a good fit for those domains as correctness and speed both seem important here.

Rust is a modern systems level programming language designed with safety in mind. However the ecosystem of off the shelf libraries to do existing tasks may be a bit sparse. Rust was originally designed by graydon hoare at mozilla research with contributions from dave herman brendan eich and others. Rust is good for building distributed online.

Rust is a programming language that offers the performance of c and c but with safeguards to stop developers shooting themselves in the foot. Especially vr but more on that later. Rust has many advantages but it depends on what you are comparing it to. Rust works amazingly well for real time computer graphics.

The primary game development language over the past 20 years have been c c majorly. Rust is syntactically similar to c and provides memory safety without using garbage collection but instead through the use of a borrow checking system. For example compared to c the main advantage of rust is safety.
