Choosing a Programming Language for New Code
It is not a new article but it is the FIRST TIME that I have seen the Prefer Rust to C/C++ for new code. article!
This article discusses WHEN to use Rust, and WHEN to not use Rust, and WHEN to use languages like C or C++.
The lesson that I take away from this is that it can be a HARD CHOICE to make!
There can be so MANY factors involved with making such a decision.
When starting a project today this choice could be felt for DECADES or even longer in some cases, if the software has a long lifespan.
What a COMPLEX topic!
