ASSESSMENT 2 FURTHER INVESTIGATION QUESTIONS WEEKS 5-6 Topic 5: Languages, Libraries and Complexity Question (a) – Programming Languages Moore’s law observes that hardware performance scales at an exponential rate, doubling every two year. This rapid evolution of hardware pushes the limitation of software and thus there is a constant need to improve efficiency and reliability. The development of new programming languages that can allow for programmer to achieve this, therefore, is inevitable. One such programming language born out of necessity is Rust. Rust is a general purpose, low-level programming language with an emphasis on type safety, security and efficiency. It was initially developed to address common errors and security vulnerability faced when programming in other low-level languages like C and C++ while maintaining the efficiency and controlled offered to low-level languages (Sharma, 2023). The main design principles in designing rust to be so reliable and efficient were memory safety, concurrency and interoperability. Memory safety is the prevention of various software bugs related to accessing memory (Rina Diane Caballar, 2023). Rust implements this through its ownership rules, borrowing checkers and strict compile-time checks. These measures prevent data races and does not permit dangling pointers or null pointers (Wayner, 2022). Another important aspect of Rust’s design principle is concurrency. The memory safe nature of rust allows for safe and manageable concurrent programming through abstractions like threads and channels without data races occurring (Wayner, 2022). This enables for high levels of control over system resources while maintaining code safety. The third factor of interoperability enables Rust to integrate with other languages giving it an aspect of Universality with programs already using C or C++. As a general purpose programming language, Rust has great versatility and, while initially developed as part of Mozilla’s Servo engine, it has been adopted into projects by other companies such as Android, Discord and Figma (CodiLime, 2023). Some examples of use cases range from system programming and web development to networking and even game development (CodiLime, 2023). It’s focus on memory safety and high efficiency have made it suitable for various implementations. It is increasingly preferred over languages like C and C++ as these tend to be prone to bugs such as data races and null pointers, which are addressed by Rust’s ownership system and compile-time checks (Krzysztof Wróbel, 2023). The safety and efficiency afforded by Rust over programs like C and C++ while providing the same level of performance makes Rust a more desirable language (Krzysztof Wróbel, 2023). This is further enhanced by it’s ability to integrate with existing libraries, interacting seamlessly with other languages In conclusion, Rust’s design and implementation revolve around the increased code safety and efficiency afford to Rust that other low-level languages do not have. This has allowed it to be a reliable alternative to traditional programming languages such as C and C++.
