What is Python used for?

Nowadays, it is almost impossible not to have heard about the Python programming language. There are numerous sources that describe this technology, but sometimes, one piece of information is missing. What actually is Python used for? In what types of projects does Python work the best? Sometimes there are so many questions and so few answers. This article aims to dispel any doubts and show Python’s possibilities. To start with, it is worth mentioning that this article focuses on the classic Python implementation (CPython).

Rust projects — why large IT companies use Rust?

Choosing the right technology for the project is not an easy decision and depends on many factors. If a programming language does not meet the application’s requirements, the project can fail. Nobody wants to lose time and money because of a rash decision. More and more, Rust is an option on the table, but many enterprises prefer to keep it at arm’s length. Why? This technology is younger than well-known, older veterans like C and C++ and has not had enough time to prove itself. Read the article to check out what is Rust used for in IT and how other large IT companies use Rust lang in production and why you also should be ready for it.

Rust vs Go — what do you need to know about these programming languages?

According to the Stack Overflow Development Survey 2021, both Rust and Go (known also as Golang) have a special place in developers' hearts. According to the survey, these programming languages are loved by almost 87% and 63% of the respondents, respectively. This score puts Rust at the top of the list. However, does Rust deserve to be the developers' blue-eyed boy? In this article, I will compare these two popular solutions, covering aspects like memory management, concurrency, tools, performance, learnability, and more – to give a big picture view of Rust and Go.

Generics in Go — everything you should know before you start

Go 1.18 introduces a new mechanism for generic programming – type parameters. This long-awaited feature finally sees daylight in the officially accepted proposal. This article focuses on a complex description of how type parameters work – everything you need to know about Go generics, with examples, in one place. Are you interested in more information about the language itself? Check out our previous articles for a Go overview and how it is different from Python. It is common knowledge that Go is a statically-typed programming language.

Why Golang may be a good choice for your project

Go (or Golang) is an open-source programming language originally created by Google that has been gaining in popularity due its high performance, expressiveness and readability. This blog post will describe the Go programming language’s origins, main features, and advantages for programmers and businesses. At the end of the article, you will find the use cases where Golang works best. When Google was growing exponentially, it had to deal with problems of scale. They simply had lots of everything: tens of thousands of engineers, lots of software and systems, millions of lines of code (especially behind their network servers) being developed by hundreds of programmers, and finally lots of hardware on which all this software was launched.

Rust vs. C++ — the main differences between these popular programming languages

The popularity of Rust as the programming language of choice among developers is still growing. According to the Rust Survey 2020, almost 40% of surveyed developers use Rust in their work, among which 13.8% declare that they work with Rust full time. This growth might be connected with the popular yet controversial opinion that Rust can be used as a C++ replacement. However, it would be too much of a simplification to say that C++ can be easily replaced by Rust. In this article, we want to briefly present the main differences between these two programming languages and how both of them can be used.

Go vs. Python — main differences overview

Python is one of the most popular programming languages. 52% of almost 32,000 voting developers claim that they used this language in the last year. What’s even more interesting, for 29% of respondents, Python was the primary language. Go, despite being less than half the age of Python, doesn’t lagbehind - it is in the top 5 programming languages that developers are planning to migrate to or adopt. In this article, you can find the following information: Go and Python features and specifications The syntax of these programming languages

Go vs. C++ — main differences

When you start a new software development project, you have to consider which programming language or languages will meet all the technical requirements and offer the most suitable frameworks and libraries to succeed. Go and C++ both have their advantages and disadvantages, so choosing between them requires a fair deal of consideration. In this article, I’ll touch on topics such as which programming language works better for which projects, and what they are used for. But the main part of the comparison will focus on the speed and readability level of these languages, whether one of them is more secure, and how test code coverage and execution handling look in Go and C++.
