Golang vs Rust
0 likes100 views
The document compares Golang and Rust, highlighting their key features, differences in performance, concurrency, memory management, and security. It notes that Golang is easier to learn and better for large-scale applications, while Rust offers better performance but has a steeper learning curve. It also outlines the cons of both languages, such as Golang's lack of manual memory management and Rust's slow compiler.
Golang vs Rust
- 2. What’s in it for you? What is Rust? Key Differences between Golang and Rust Cons of Golang Cons of Rust What is Golang?
- 3. What is Golang? Golang is an open-source statically- typed compiled language developed by Google It was designed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson It comes with goroutines, strong security, and some standard libraries
- 4. What is Rust? Rust is a multiparadigm, general-purpose and a high-level programming language Graydon Hoare along with Dave Herman, Brendan Eich, and others introduced the language at Mozilla Research Rust is focused on safety, stability, performance and safe concurrency
- 5. Key Differences between Golang and Rust
- 6. Performance Performance Rust has the upper hand in delivering output over Go due to its great runtime speed, but it lacks compilation time Go is better in compilation time but lacks runtime speed
- 7. Concurrency Concurrency Rust was recently introduced with the native syntax in the form of async/await and guarantees memory stability Go uses goroutines to utilize CPUs efficiently and handle multiple tasks simultaneously
- 8. Memory management and Security Security Developers need to be attentive and be aware of memory allocation else code won't be compiled Go offers various paradigms such as memory allocation and automatic garbage collection
- 9. Easiness to Code and Learn Experience Rust comes with a much steeper learning curve than Go While Go is relatively easier than Rust, it has a steeper learning curve than other languages like JavaScript and Python
- 10. Development Speed Speed Rust provides with good runtime speed over compilation speed Good execution speed
- 11. Scalability Scalability Rust favors applications that require speed such as game development Go the perfect programming languages to develop large-scale applications
- 13. Cons of Golang Lack of manual memory management Sometimes difficult to handle the errors Few Libraries and frameworks
- 14. Cons of Rust Higher learning curve Low level of monkey patching support The compiler can be slow compared to other languages
