    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…

    The Controversial Path to C++ Modules: A Developer’s Perspective

    The intricate journey of C++ modules adoption reflects not only the complexities of a programming language evolving but also the broader ecosystem’s struggle to keep pace. When C++20 introduced modules with the promise to replace the traditional and cumbersome header/cpp model, it aimed to modernize and streamline development practices. Yet, the transition has been anything…

  • Необходимата конвенция за извиквания в Rust

    Необходимата конвенция за извиквания в Rust

    Конвенциите за извиквания са фундаментална част от системното програмиране, определяйки как функциите приемат аргументи и връщат резултати. Различията в конвенциите могат да имат голямо въздействие върху функционалността и производителността на кода. Проблемът се усложнява при използване на езици като Rust, където безопасността и ефективността са от критично значение. Множество разработчици изразяват разочарование от липсата на…

  • The Rust calling convention we deserve

    The Rust calling convention we deserve

    In the swiftly evolving domain of system programming languages, Rust has carved out a space synonymous with safety and performance. Yet, one aspect where Rust seemingly lags is a standardized, language-specific calling convention that could propel it further into domains dominated by C and other stalwarts. Unlike other programming languages such as Swift, which have…

    Navigating the Nuances of Low-Level Programming in High-Level Languages

    System programming often presents unique challenges that demand a meticulous approach to coding and an in-depth understanding of the computer’s architecture. Traditionally, languages like C have been the go-to for such tasks due to their close-to-metal nature, which provides programmers with control over aspects like memory management and processor-specific operations. However, as high-level languages like…
