Rust vs. Zig – and C++ and Mojo – for Systems Programming

At P99 CONF, a debate between Jarred Sumner, Pekka Enberg, and Glauber Costa on ThePrimeagen's Twitch stream explored the benefits and drawbacks of Rust and Zig for systems programming. Key points included Rust's memory safety and robust ecosystem, and Zig's low-level control and better interoperability with C. They also touched on Mojo's potential, particularly for machine learning, and agreed that both Rust and Zig offer significant advantages over older versions of C++.
