Rust (langage)Rust est un langage de programmation compilé multi-paradigme conçu et développé par Mozilla Research depuis 2010. Il a été conçu pour être « un langage fiable, concurrent, pratique », supportant les styles de programmation purement fonctionnel, modèle d'acteur, procédural, ainsi qu'orienté objet sous certains aspects. En 2020, ses domaines de prédilection sont la programmation système, les applications en ligne de commande, les applications Web via WebAssembly, les services réseaux et les systèmes embarqués.
Manual memory managementIn computer science, manual memory management refers to the usage of manual instructions by the programmer to identify and deallocate unused objects, or garbage. Up until the mid-1990s, the majority of programming languages used in industry supported manual memory management, though garbage collection has existed since 1959, when it was introduced with Lisp. Today, however, languages with garbage collection such as Java are increasingly popular and the languages Objective-C and Swift provide similar functionality through Automatic Reference Counting.
FinalizerIn computer science, a finalizer or finalize method is a special method that performs finalization, generally some form of cleanup. A finalizer is executed during object destruction, prior to the object being deallocated, and is complementary to an initializer, which is executed during object creation, following allocation. Finalizers are strongly discouraged by some, due to difficulty in proper use and the complexity they add, and alternatives are suggested instead, mainly the dispose pattern (see problems with finalizers).
Strong and weak typingIn computer programming, one of the many ways that programming languages are colloquially classified is whether the language's type system makes it strongly typed or weakly typed (loosely typed). However, there is no precise technical definition of what the terms mean and different authors disagree about the implied meaning of the terms and the relative rankings of the "strength" of the type systems of mainstream programming languages.
Swift (langage d'Apple)Swift est un langage de programmation objet compilé, multi-paradigmes, qui se veut simple, performant et sûr. Il est développé en open source. Le projet de développement de Swift est géré par Apple, qui en est également le principal contributeur ; mais de nombreux membres de la communauté Swift, ainsi que d'autres acteurs, tels que Google et IBM, participent également à son développement. Swift est officiellement supporté sur les systèmes d'exploitation Ubuntu, iOS, macOS, watchOS et tvOS.
