High-Performance Programming: Languages and Techniques Performance work is about speed, predictability, and smart use of resources. Clear goals and careful measurement help you avoid wasted effort. This article looks at languages that shine in speed and the techniques that consistently pay off. Language choices for speed For raw speed, C and C++ give direct memory control and minimal runtime overhead. Rust adds safety with zero-cost abstractions, so you get fast code with fewer surprises. Other modern options like Zig or D offer productive tooling while still aiming for high performance. The best choice depends on the task, team skills, and long-term maintenance. Always pair a language choice with good build flags and profiling plans. ...
