- Comparison of programming languages (C++, Java, Go, Scala) from 2011 to 2024, highlighting Rust's emergence as a popular and admired language.
- Rust's core properties: performance, type safety, concurrency, memory safety without garbage collection, and compile-time checks via the borrow checker.
- Implementation of a loop recognition algorithm in Rust, comparing Safe Rust and Unsafe Rust approaches, with focus on idiomatic Rust practices.
- Performance analysis comparing C++ and Rust (Safe and Unsafe) in terms of code size, compile times, binary size, memory footprint, and execution times.
- Findings: Rust's Release builds outperform C++ in execution time and memory usage, with Unsafe Rust showing the best performance, while Debug builds are slower.
