How does Solidity compare to Rust for blockchain applications?

The question is about Solidity

Answer:

While both are used for blockchain applications, the use of Solidity and Rust varies in purpose. Solidity has been designed to create smart contracts, particularly for systems such as Ethereum. It provides features related to blockchain development and friendly syntax to developers with backgrounds in JavaScript and C++. Rust is a general-purpose language well known for its guarantees of memory safety and high performance. It is regularly used to build whole blockchain infrastructures, such as Polkadot. While Solidity eases dApp development on Ethereum, Rust maintains low-level control and is ideal for high-performance, secure blockchain protocols and decentralized systems.
