From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This shows something else. The traditional languages are all more common than Rust.

It's a survey from 2019, but in those rust is traditionally the favourite language nobody uses professionally.

I suppose Go could be a good competitor, and I read a thread comparing C=Go, C++=Rust.

Go's syintax is C inspired, but it's not made to replace it, nor do they compete in the same space.

Look at zig instead of you're interested in that.

I am interested in a discussion about that, as I would like to learn one of these languages

Skip rust unless you have years to get good at it.
