tart VS actix-telepathy

Here's another cool one: tart, for making things like ASCII diagrams for code comments (or hell, even fully fledged terminal art)

I wanted to see how Monodraw compared to my preferred terminal art editor (https://github.com/jtdaugherty/tart), but my version of macOS which is only a couple years old is apparently not supported anymore. Tart runs in the terminal, so it works pretty much everywhere. I think it deserves more users, so if you're not on macOS, maybe check it out.

better solution is tart

Well, one recent issue I came across recently is the lack of support for clusters. There are crates for parallelism on a local machine, but the crates wrapping MPI or coming up with a native solution are basically not maintained anymore. I've only found actix telepathy, which is not a complete solution tho, being an extension of Actix.

Rust is also another possibility: it's basically C++ but more modern with added features and safety. It can be tricky to write mathematical stuff in it, because you may not care too much about all the safety concerns Rust forces you to handle, but it can be useful to catch bugs ahead of times. Sadly, Rust seems to have no library for running programs on clusters of PCs, except maybe this one, which takes the Actor model implemented by Actix and runs it on a cluster. I don't know how tricky it is to use the Actor model for a scientific simulation, tho.
