Is rust an improved version of C++

Answer 1

I have recently decided to put more interest and effort into Rust than C++ and have been thoroughly impressed with tooling support, performance, ease of building and packaging, and safety. Frankly I think C++ won't die anytime soon, but I'm placing my bets on Rust becoming a large player in systems programming alongside Go and Kotlin too.

Answer 2

I browsing the internet and stumbled upon a new language. which seems as an upgrade from C++
/ /////////////////////////
RUST

1. Rust was voted Most Loved Language in the 2016 StackOverflow developer survey and could be the answer to your quest. It was developed by Mozilla as an alternative to C++ and enjoys support from Samsung.

2. It is designed to have similar capabilities in terms of memory management and performance as C++ but with more checks at compile time to avoid expensive bugs caused by dangling pointers, buffer overflows and the like

3. Decentralised networking company Maidsafe spent six months reducing it’s entire codebase of 500,000 C++ lines to a compact 30,000 lines of Rust, increasing stability at the same time.

I personally love C++ but I am geeking out on the thought of learning it. which makes me feel like I am cheating in C++ 😂😂😂. what do you guys think.

Answer 3

😂😂😂 I feel the same

Answer 4

rust is really cool but i see it more as a replacement for c and not c++. rust is kind of a mix of c and a functional programming language.
the checks in rust are free because they are done at compile time, so they don‘t impact performance

Answer 5

Maxwell Anderson just wondering whether the syntax is the same

Answer 6

Rust is similar to C++ in the same way that C# is similar to Java. It sort of looks similar, but once you get into it they are very different.
