This is a (non-comprehensive) guide for C# and .NET developers that are completely new to the Rust programming language. Some concepts and constructs translate fairly well between C#/.NET and Rust, but which may be expressed differently, whereas others are a radical departure, like memory management. This guide provides a brief comparison and mapping of those constructs and concepts with concise examples.
Microsoft is working on integrating Rust, a programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency, into the Windows 11 kernel. According to David Weston, Vice President, Enterprise and OS Security at Microsoft, the company plans to boot Windows 11 with Rust code inside in the near future.
Bjarne Stroustrup Defends C++ As Safe
NSA advises organizations to consider making a strategic shift from programming languages that provide little or no inherent memory protection, such as C/C++, to a memory safe language when possible. Some examples of memory safe languages are C#, Go, Java, Ruby™, and Swift®.
Julia is used for a lot of deeply technical applications like Machine Learning and Data Science. But as a general-purpose programming language, Julia can also be used for things like building websites and interactive visualizations. In this article, we will go over 5 Julia packages that can be used to create desktop GUI’s or web applications.
F*: A Higher-Order Effectful Language Designed for Program Verification
F* (pronounced F star) is a general-purpose functional programming language with effects aimed at program verification. It puts together the automation of an SMT-backed deductive verification tool with the expressive power of a proof assistant based on dependent types.
EF and EF Core DbContext types implement IDisposable. As such, best practice programming suggests that you should wrap them in a using() block (or new C# 8 using statement). Unfortunately, doing this, at least in web apps, is generally a bad idea.
