@gormster@theblower.au @marcoarment@mastodon.social Rust is an actual valid choice for the same things as C/C++ and it's even being considered for building operating systems. Go is a fun one. It's got automatic garvage collection, but in terms of speed it comes relatively close to C/C++ but with a much easier learning curve that is not too far from Python in terms of difficulty. I know there are haters out there, but I really do appreciate Go's perfect blend of raw power and ease of use. Oh and then there's Zig.
