Eliminating Memory Safety Vulnerabilities at the Source

Eliminating Memory Safety Vulnerabilities at the Source TLDR: Switching to a memory safe language (like Rust) for new development reduces security bugs dramatically, even though the total size of old code in an unsafe language (C++) still increases. Since the old code is in “bug fixes only” mode, the number of bugs it contains decreases exponentially, and new (memory-related) bugs won’t be introduced.

These Modern Programming Languages Will Make You Suffer TLDR: * Best System Language: Go * Best Language for Fintech: F# * Best Language for Enterprise Software: F# * Best Frontend Language: ReasonML * Best Language for Building Web APIs: Elixir * Best Language for Building Concurrent and Distributed Software: Elixir ReasonML is basically OCaml in new syntax and compiled to JS, so it is the perfect match for React.. Elixir is Erlang with nicer syntax.
