You definitely don’t need to learn Rust . It’s a neat language though and it’s worth tooling around in for a bit, at very least to get a feel for the ‘borrow checker’. If you are in a field where everything is being rewritten in Rust, then it may be a good idea to spend some time on it.
Read moreWhy is Go more popular than Rust?
Go’s rich standard library and easy concurrency makes standing up HTTP servers or other networked services simple and easy . Go is also faster, safer, and less memory intensive than most of the legacy competition. For example, Go is less memory intensive than Java and C#, faster than Python and Ruby, safer than C++.
Read moreIs Go as fast as Rust?
By contrast, Go is more concerned about simplicity, and it’s willing to sacrifice some (run-time) performance for it. But Go’s build speed is unbeatable, and that’s important for large codebases. Rust is faster than Go . In the benchmarks above, Rust was faster, and in some cases, an order of magnitude faster.27 May 2021
Read moreWhich is more popular Rust or Go?
Go is ranked as the 15th most popular programming language by the TIOBE Index, whereas Rust ranks in 34th place . Languages that are popular have some amazing advantages over the languages that are not so popular.
Read moreIs Go better than C language?
No. Go cannot replace C everywhere because it’s a higher-level language . It has a garbage collector and runtime that you can’t get rid of. This makes Go, unlike C, unsuitable for certain low-level use cases like embedded systems with limited memory and hard real-time programming.
Read moreIs Golang replacing C++?
golang ended up being more of a Python replacement. Go was never intended to replace C++ . It was aimed at a very specific target: engineers, especially junior engineers, writing function-as-a-service software.
Read moreIs Go faster than CPP?
Usually C++ code will run somewhat faster than Go code . C++ compilers are generally better, and in some ways the C++ language permits writing more efficient, if sometimes less safe, code. In my experience the difference ranges from Go being a few percent slower to Go being twice as slow.7 Eki 2014
