    I have two options to choose from for my blockchain developement work. Rust and C++ for blockchain work. Can anyone help me make decision

    For Performance & Safety, rust is good for avoiding memory safety at the same time, C++ goes more with modern practices? whether speed differnet is negligible?

    For blockchain scalability which one is good rust or C++ ummmm solana is using rust and Bitcoin is using c++ thats the point of my confusion

    Can anyone pardon me help which language should i learn

    Rust and C++ offer strong performance, making them suitable for blockchain development. Rust delivers consistent speed and reliability, often matching or surpassing C++ in benchmarks. Both languages handle low-level tasks efficiently.

    Rust provides better security through its ownership model, which prevents memory-related errors during compilation. This feature eliminates vulnerabilities like null pointer dereferences and buffer overflows. C++ relies on manual memory management, increasing the likelihood of errors in complex projects.

    Rust works well for Layer 1 blockchains and DeFi applications due to its safety features and concurrency support. Projects like Solana and Polkadot rely on Rust for these reasons. C++ performs effectively for systems programming and established blockchain platforms, such as Bitcoin Core.

    Choose Rust if safety, long-term maintainability, and concurrency are priorities. Select C++ for legacy systems or if your team has strong expertise in the language.

    For examples, study Solana’s Rust-based framework and Bitcoin Core’s use of C++. These projects highlight the strengths of both languages.
