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.

Software product development lifecycle — the UX perspective

We all know that products that really add value and address genuine user needs depend on good design. If a product or app isn’t easy and intuitive to use, it may be destined to fail. How many times have you left a website feeling frustrated, not being able to find the information you need? For sure you have installed apparently useful apps that later turned out to be a real pain to use. The Internet is full of examples of poor user experience. This is why it is crucial to always incorporate design thinking in your software product development lifecycle.

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

GPU in computer networks — how to speed up traffic processing

We are almost always online in our hyper-connected world. In just 10 years, the number of active device connections rose from 8.8 billion in 2010 to 21.6 billion in 2020, and it is expected to further increase to 41.2 billion by 2025 (according to Statista data). This rapid growth raises new technical issues regarding network traffic control and processing. Especially when we combine them with the development of 5G, a new standard offering peak data rates of up to 20 Gbps and supposedly supporting a 100-fold increase in traffic capacity and network efficiency.

MobX in React — learn the basics [Video Demonstration]

MobX and React are often used together to efficiently create component-based web applications. The process of integrating them can seem challenging at the beginning. This is why we haveprepared a comprehensive video guide for those who want to use MobX in React. Also known as React.js or ReactJS, React is an open source, JavaScript library that provides an output for data presented in HTML. The views of React are generally extracted through the deployment of “components.” These components can consist of additional components, which are specified in terms of custom HTML tags.

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++.

The Go programming language — everything you should know

The Go programming language has been known to the developer community for a few years, but can definitely still astonish. Not without reason, it successfully keeps its position in the top 10 most loved languages. More than 80,000 developers have shared their opinions. Golang gets almost 63% of their votes for “loved”. We can’t imagine a better recommendation, but we prepared this overview anyway to provide you, in my opinion, with the most important information about the Go programming language. The story of the Go programming language started at Google, when three engineers, Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson grew weary of C++’s complexity, and the lack of a simple language providing efficient compilation and execution.

CI/CD pipeline: why it makes sense for your startup

Today, the world of software and app development evolves rapidly. Both startups and larger companies keep bringing more and faster enhancements and functionality to the market to stay ahead of the competition. In order to maintain the pace of development and increase efficiency, development teams need to constantly optimize their workflow. One of the methods to both develop and sustain business reliability is the implementation of a CI/CD pipeline. It is now one of the fundamental practices for DevOps implementation in startups and one of the best practices that allow DevOps teams to deliver code more frequently and reliably.

We've previously explained how VPP processes packets in vectors as opposed to processing each packet end to end. But how is this processing spread across CPU cores? How exactly is a vector of packets structured?
