This paper compares Rust and C++ regarding safety and performance trade-offs. Rust's ownership model eliminates memory-safety vulnerabilities without performance overhead, demonstrating 50 % reduction in memory-safety bugs. Rust emerges as a secure programming standard while C++ remains relevant for legacy systems.
