Should I learn rust or C++ first?

You will be best off if you do both. Learn C++ first, then Rust. C++ is more powerful, has a much bigger ecosystem, and forces you to think about memory the hard way (i.e. raw pointers, unique_ptr, shared_ptr). You’ll appreciate the modern features and cleaner design of Rust much more once you know some C++.

Is C++ better than rust?

Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but it provides increased speed and better memory safety. Rust is a more innovative system-level language in terms of safer memory management because it does not allow dangling pointers or null pointers.

Is C safer than C++?

C++ has not made the language intrinsically safer than C. Most (but not all) C bugs compile just fine as C++. With a little bit of discipline, C++ can be used in a very memory safe way, with the actual unsafe operations concentrated in very few well audited places.

Is Rust easier than Java?

Java was able to serve around 20% more requests than Go, while Rust served around 15% more requests than Java. At the time of writing this article, the Java programming language had been around for almost three decades now, which makes it relatively easier to find Java developers for on the market.

Why I switched from go to rust?

The service we switched from Go to Rust is the “Read States” service. Its sole purpose is to keep track of which channels and messages you have read. Read States is accessed every time you connect to Discord, every time a message is sent and every time a message is read.

Is rust garbage collected?

Rust has a static garbage collector. When a value is not moved somewhere else (eg:through a function call),it is destroyed at the end of the scope,its destructor function is called and then that of each one of its fields,releasing any resources it owns,including memory. Rust works the same way.
