Start learning Rust

I don’t know the reason, but I want to do something different from what I’m usually doing. And I want to have a familiar programming language which does not have garbage collection (GC). There are two candidates for me, swift and Rust.

I think swift is more popular and will be getting more popular. But I started to learn rust because its memory management mechanism is interesting for me. The official web site says that the following.

• guaranteed memory safety
• threads without data races

Even though we use a language which has GC such as Java, we need to care about memory management especially in operation phase. I think it’s more difficult to write an application in Rust than other modern programming languages which have GC. But once it’s done, it’s easier to operate the application wrrtten in Rust.

I think I would feel that I can use a sharper knife when I get used to Rust.
