Senthil Nayagan I want to learn one of these (Rust, Nim, Go) modern programming languages which are close/equivalent to C/C++ performance. I understand that Go got much better ecosystems, I mean, the libraries, but heard that Rust is better than Go in terms of better type safety and less chance of getting runtime exceptions. Nim also exists for a while and it is not known to many of us! Wondering which one to be best general purpose programming language - Go, Nim and Rust?
Ganesh Khade Rust, without a doubt.
🧞 Bit i'd go with go, syntactically more straightforward and pretty widely used across domains. No wrong answer though
🧔 Justin Rust because it has popular support and is growing, and because Go isn't really as fast as C++ as far as I know.
🗜️ Mx Nim is a mess. Go with Go. Rust is too damn weird.
