White House urges developers to dump C and C++::Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities.
Such as? (Non-programmer here, so I don’t know the ins and outs of programming languages.)
Zig and Rust come to mind, at least for replacements for low level languages.
Isn’t that only microsoft exclusive and closed source? Also does compiling it really yield the same speed as C, it is garbage collected isn’t it?
Was always possible to compile+run C# on Linux using the Mono project. Until Microsoft “bought them out” and created .NET Core, a cross platform version of .NET that MS now encourages people to use instead…
Microsoft’s new linux compile tools rub me the wrong way slightly, with the telemetry that’s opt-in by default.
Mono is still extremely valuable for older .NET Framework apps under WINE though, way easier to setup compared to the official installers from what i’ve experienced.
No idea how compiled C# compares to C…
