there is a surprisingly large amount of people that think not being able to write memory safe C/C++ is a "skill issue" I want all those people to watch & listen to this video of Azure CTO very carefully Google, Microsoft and others are very open that C/C++ is a problem

Built the same Windows background service in C#, Rust, Go and C++ to see what the better outcome was, both product and code This service interacts with Windows APIs (COMs), has auto update & install Had a couple of users to test the different products and users rated them🧵

watching a Go developer “if err != nil” his way to the shittiest barely functional code known to mankind

there's this weird trick to get over 60 FPS: don't use Go 🤯 - written in Zig btw - 120 FPS - rewrote the infamous totally accurate language benchmark balls using raylib - lmk if you want github link for this Zig + raylib example x.com/void_zero2/sta…

People sleeping on Golang - 60 FPS - Desktop app - Realtime market data - all tickers / symbols - each panel is an actor - local first - heatmaps coming soon - custom script / algos coming soon TradingView cooked

doesn't compile because the i in int has a different background or something idfk

Rust (winner) - great windows API usage with windows-rs crate, most sane way to deal with Windows APIs - users happy with the very low resource usage and small binary (2MB at most) - Implementation time between C# and C++, but with best results - Code is fast, safe, maintainable

False. Even using unique_ptr & shared_ptr won't make C++ fully memory-safe. Issues like iterator invalidation, dangling references, data races, and unsafe APIs remain. Rust addresses these comprehensively by design, not just discipline. Possible? Yes. Trivial? Nope

No, Rust exists because people treat C++ as "C with Classes" and continue to abuse it. If you stick to unique_ptr and shared_ptr and so on, you can write entirely memory-safe code trivially. It's 2025, so it's time to learn C17 at least...

Go: - straightforward to implement logic-wise - Windows COMs means implementing Windows specific logic in C++ and using CGO to link to the statically built lib (adds overhead DX-wise, how anyone calls this a systems lang is beyond me) - Crappy little language, small binaries tho

C#: - Most productive from start to finished binary - Huge binary if self-contained - self-contained doesn't work with CsWin32 >:( - Uses most resources (50mb RAM+) - Windows doesn't prompt user to install .NET runtime, leading to broken executable (!), frustrated users

C++: - Slowest to implement, finding libs & dealing with CMake is still a PITA - result was small binary, low resource usage - Windows docs are C++-native which is a big + - Obvious that the code will be annoying to maintain & continue developing

To summarize this quick little A/B/C/D test: once again confirmed that Rust is indeed the better language, especially for anything systems related. C# is a decent server-side language. C++ is still slow & old, but with legacy (+). Go is still a toy with horrible ergonomics.

the anyhow crate in Rust is a testament to how Zig's error handling is the best we have in any language as of now Rust is great but Zig is simply better in this area
