Navigating the Complex World of Modern Programming Languages: Rust vs. Zig
The debate over which programming language to adopt is a common one among developers, particularly when the contenders offer distinct philosophies and toolsets. Recently, discussions have intensified around Rust and Zig, two languages that, while sharing some surface-level similarities with older languages like C and C++, ultimately serve different purposes and solve different problems. To…

ROOT: El Motor Desconocido de la Ciencia de Datos en el CERN
El CERN es conocido mundialmente por sus descubrimientos en física de partículas, pero menos conocidos son los aspectos técnicos que permiten estos avances. Una de esas herramientas esenciales es ROOT, un framework desarrollado y mantenido por los propios científicos del CERN para analizar las enormes cantidades de datos generados en experimentos como el LHC. Aunque…

Navigating the C++ Iceberg
Il mondo della programmazione in C++ è come un iceberg, apparentemente semplice in superficie ma ricco di complessità nascoste sotto il livello dell’acqua. Dai commenti degli utenti si evince una discussione approfondita su concetti come ‘constexpr’ e ‘undefined behavior’. La parola chiave ‘constexpr’ in C++ fornisce un indizio al compilatore che una variabile o funzione…

Unraveling the Debate: The Quest for Speed in Python and Beyond
In the realm of programming languages, the discussion often revolves around the trade-off between safety and speed. One of the hot topics under scrutiny is the notion of ‘unsafe’ Python and its potential for achieving significant performance boosts. While Python is renowned for its high-level abstractions and ease of use, some developers are willing to…

Rusty.hpp: Kas C++20 võib Rusti mäluomaniku kontrolli järele jõuda?
Jaysmito Mukherjee’i loodud Rusty.hpp raamatukogu C++20 jaoks on äratanud arendajate seas palju huvi ja arutelu. See raamatukogu proovib tuua C++ keelde Rust programmeerimiskeele ühe olulisemaid omadusi—laenatud kontrollimise ja mälu omandi süsteemid. Eksperimentaalne projekt püüab jäljendada Rusti käitumist, pakkudes samasuguseid mäluhalduse võimalusi implementation runtime ajal, mitte kompileerimise ajal. Kuigi projekt on märgitud kui eksperimentaalne ja mitte…

Blurring Language Boundaries: The Experimental Charm of Rusty.hpp in C++
In the ever-evolving world of software development, languages often borrow from each other, not just idiomatically but also in terms of core functionalities. An interesting specter is observed in the implementation of Rust’s borrow checking and memory management concepts into C++. This endeavor, led by an interesting project named Rusty.hpp, introduces a layer of Rust-like…
