Hello community!
I wanted to ask which of the programming languages above is best suited (in terms of performance) for video game development.
So which one is faster 🙂
Maybe someone here knows about it!
Thank you in advance!

Loading...I have some questions about "clean code & more" in the front-end & back-end. Mainly on the topic of web development in HTML, SASS, JavaScript, PHP. How do you comment? In which language (German, English) do you comment? Do you make Minfy? Do you write additional information in the code such as version and author?…
https://hadico.de/ What do you think of the website's implementation? Is it good or not?
Admins everywhere are talking about cheaters who create new accounts. How do they do that? They don't buy Rust 100 times or something?
Hello, I recently upgraded my PC and reinstalled everything, including Windows 10…but now I have the problem that I can no longer download Eclipse because I keep getting an error message…can anyone help me??? End of log file: (lots of other downloads…) [2023-06-04 19:09:15] Downloading org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.asciidoc [2023-06-04 19:09:15] Collected 467 artifacts for https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2023-03/202303151000 in 0.259s…
How do you program a real robot to move according to a program? Just programming a robot in a simulated world is boring. I want a real robot. And what programming language can I use to program something like that?
Hello, I would like to use parameters that can be selected from a dropdown list in the JavaScript part. Below, you can see two dropdown lists in the HTML part. They should both be the parameters of the variable "dis." I managed to do it with the first list, but I can't get the second…
You could also use a combination of it.
Existing game engines are likely to offer a C++ or C interface. In most cases you will use this interface with C++ code.
Rust and C++ can call each other. So you could write your code in Rust and use the game engine with C++ interface.
According to Website the mutual call should not cause any/close performance losses.
If you were using Rust, for example, you would have the safer Storage management or other benefits of Rust. Data exchanged between Rust and C++ will still have to be taken care of.
For example, you could use Unreal Engine with C++ Interface via Rust.
It is not a recommendation to put it into effect, but it would be a possibility.
Okay, thanks, but that’s too complicated.
Thanks anyway!!!
Languages are not fast or slow. All languages mentioned can be compiled directly to the target hardware AOT and come out without a large transit time system, which is usually beneficial for such applications.
For such a purpose, it is useful to find a language that is already established in game development because there are corresponding libraries/engines and documentation.
Of these, this is the most common C++.
Rust is a (moderate growing) niche product and hardly established in game development. Zig falls under experimental anyway and is a tiny niche. Of course, you can also work with naked C, but for large projects C++ is a bit more convenient and more common.
I’ve already learned a lot of C++ and I’m now skeptical about whether that was a good idea because it’s somehow called Rust C and C++.
C is the implementation language of many operating systems and C++ is the implementation language of many GUI frameworks. This fact gives both languages an inventory and usage guarantee for a very long time.
If that should be true (and that is by no means clear): There is a huge amount of existing code in C and C++. It will not be replaced overnight – the best example is the Firefox browser, which is the pioneering project for Rust.
Thus, a slow, glacier-like shift will come to a maximum over the next decades. Rust is not a language that is very easy to learn and does not bring any grandiose immediate productivity benefits. The improvements are more incremental (to C++).
Hello! The choice of programming language depends on different factors, not only on performance. But when it comes to speed:
– **C**: Very fast, but you need to handle many things manually (storage management etc.).
– **C++**: Also fast and offers more features such as classes and templates. Often used in game development.
– **Rust**: Almost as fast as C and C++, but with better storage security. Not so widespread in game development.
– **Zig**: Relatively new and aims to provide C-like performance with more modern features. Less common than Rust.
For game development, C++ is usually the best choice as it offers a good mix of performance and features.
I don’t know Zig now, but C, C++ and Rust will not differ significantly.
I would recommend C++ – this should be the industry standard (not only) for game development, with correspondingly broad support regarding frameworks and community.
C is too insecure – too easy to detect mistakes. C is only interesting for embedded development (hardware proximity).
Rust is significantly safer than C or C++, but probably the support in game development is only rudimentary.
I also hear from all sides Rust would replace C++. Is that bullshit?
No, Rust probably has the stuff. But Rust is 8 years old, C++ almost 40. The ecosystem for Rust and the developer base/community is still not so far.
Ask that again in 10 years, and maybe my answer will be different. :
And even if I can then program my project in Rust so in 5 years if I have not deleted it until then;)
C++ is currently still the common P.Language for games… but C# will replace them.
Performance…
If I need 10 loops to animate 10 sprites on the screen, but it would also go with a loop… it almost doesn’t matter what language you use… It’s just fucking programmed.
Performance is so multi-layered and PCs become so fast that the language is rather secondary. On a Windows PC, for example, there is also a scary hungry operating system in the background, which already attracts so much performance. But the same program would “run” much better on PlayStation.
