This article compares Go and Rust, two popular programming languages, focusing on their code writing styles, performance, and application areas. Go is praised for its simplicity, efficiency, and excellent concurrency support, making it ideal for network services and cloud computing. Rust, on the other hand, excels in memory safety and high performance, making it suitable for system programming and applications requiring strict security. The article highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each language, providing insights for developers choosing between them for specific projects.

This blog post details how the author created native Go bindings for Apache OpenDAL-a Rust-based unified data access layer-without relying on CGo, by combining the purego library and libffi. The solution enables Go programs to call Rust (via C) functions directly, overcoming previous integration hurdles, simplifying cross-compilation, reducing binary sizes, and achieving better performance compared to traditional CGo-based bindings.
