Can Rust be used instead of C++?

Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language focused on performance and safety, especially safe concurrency. It is syntactically similar to C++ but provides memory safety without using garbage collection. Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but it provides increased speed and better memory safety.

Should I learn C C++ or Rust?

Here’s the big hint – go with Rustlang. Sure, C++ has the lion’s share of community support, and huge libraries, but Rust language is so much better in nearly every other way. Rust teaches you to code properly, and the tough love as a beginner is definitely appreciated by those further on in their careers.

Rust: 15 new features per year, measured by the number of headers in the release notes of major Rust versions over the past year, minus things like linters. This speaks volumes to the stability of these languages, but more importantly it speaks to their complexity.
