Brian Kernighan on the Typesetting of “The Go Programming Language” Book
A while ago, I bought the book “ The Go Programming Language ” written by Alan Donovan and Brian Kernighan. I have always been a fan of Brian Kernighan’s writings.

Rust vs. C++: Fine-grained Performance
If Rust is to take on work previously reserved to C++, we need to know how well it does what C++ does best. What’s fast, what’s slow? What’s harder to do, what’s easier? I wouldn’t know how to look up answers for those questions, but I can write programs.
