Essentially, to avoid the memory-safety vs. speed trade-off, C++ leaves memory safety to the developer, whereas Rust has inherent memory safety bounds that can be lifted with `unsafe` code. The Rust model for memory safety is a clear reason for selecting Rust, in case you feel memory safety is your problem in C++ .13 Eyl 2021
Read moreWill C++ be replaced by Rust?
Rust is a possible replacement for C++ for many applications , with use mostly being driven by Rust’s support for memory safety. Comparable to C++ in performance and platform support and controlled by an independent foundation, Rust is definitely a technology worth keeping an eye on.
Read moreWho is faster C++ or Rust?
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.
