Rust vs C++

Rust allows reaching a higher-level performance in comparison to C++ because of its better safety standards that decrease the development process cost. For example, to ensure faster operation, C++ does not have automatic garbage collection tools, which might contribute to multiple runtime errors.9 Haz 2021

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.17 Ağu 2021

When it comes to performance, Rust covers the major aspects like low code of development and better safety standards. C++ works on spotting memory errors and manual memory management that can increase the cost and affect the coding. However, C++ offers the execution of faster applications and optimal performance.

In some benchmark over the internet (“Alioth Debian”) it shows Rust as being faster (by some operations per second) and in another (“TechEmpower”) that it is slower. But if you choose Rust, it is very likely that is both very fast, in “C++ like performance” and it is safe.
