Sometimes i feel empty, I mean i would like to create application for OS for example a media player that connected to my backend but i cannot write this in php, I heard about Rust, How good is this ?
Rust, GO, C++, C ? What would choose in 2021?
C++, for sure. It’s a better language to pick up the fundamentals with. Rust and Go are great languages, but I’d pick them up after c++.
C is the mother language of most now common programming language. C++ is next and from there we have an explosion of different languages in which is called C-syntax languages where most follow the same basic structure. PHP is one of them. This makes you feel somewhat familiar with the “look and feel” of the other C-family languages. Java and C# is also part of this family.
Programming for windows? C# is probably the way to go.
Pick up Rust and learn proper memory management with it’s brutal compilator.
I wrote PHP extensions in C back in the day. That might be a fun direction if you have any interest in tying in to PHP.
Go is not quite low level but certainly different compared to PHP. Go gives a ton of (new) playroom, especially since it will run on most platforms. its a matter of taste mostly, id pick one that has jobs offerings for you or has the promise
I love C and tolerate C++, but most often lean on Go when I need to get something done. My last job was at a VoIP company and I ended up using Go for all sorts of stuff from CNAM to geographically redundant failover.
I’ve found that it’s easier to get a junior up to speed with Go than it is with other lower level languages. When management doesn’t care what language something is written in, it sometimes pays to choose the path of least resistance.
C and C++ have a longer development cycle and a steeper learning curve. I haven’t yet messed around with Rust to any significant degree so I can’t comment on it.
Exactly what happened to me..In the end i choose zig..At first i want to use c, but im too lazy to deal with header file, macro and etc
x86 and machine code. Welcome to the hell
How come a new answer is needed to this question almost daily?
You can do some pretty neat stuff with JavaScript these days. Slack uses Electron to turn JS + HTML into a really slick desktop app that people love. I think Spotify is the same.
As someone who quit C++ over 20 years ago I can’t help but think some folk just think the grass is greener without really knowing much about it.
