    The Crystal Programming Language

    Rust is increasingly beginning to be integrated into Linux Kernel Modules, Android, and even Ruby's new YJIT. C served it's purpose, but it should not be used anymore due to all of the security vulnerabilities it has allowed over the decades. Use Go, Rust, Crystal, Nim, Zig (no GC), or even V (no GC) instead, literally anything besides C/C++. If you still insist on continuing to use C/C++ for new projects, you are taking an unnecessary risk and potentially putting other users or your employer's security at risk.

  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • Nim

    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
