Use of Golang, Java, C/C++, or Rust: A Quick Guide

For real-time applications, Go and Rust are the top choices due to their lightweight concurrency and memory efficiency. Combine them for a balanced approach: Go for high-level logic and Rust for performance-critical tasks. Use C/C++ for legacy systems and Java for enterprise-level applications where real-time performance is less critical.

When using Go, the chance of classic concurrency errors like race conditions, deadlocks, and resource leaks is significantly reduced. This is thanks to Go’s use of channels for safe communication between goroutines and its built-in garbage collector, which works seamlessly with the goroutine scheduler. This makes Go not only efficient but also more reliable and easier to debug in high-concurrency scenarios.

Create a Zombie process in Linux using a C program

Below is the source code of a C program to create a Zombie process in Linux and analyse it.

vim create_zombie_process.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main ()
{
 pid_t child_pid;

 child_pid = fork ();
 if (child_pid > 0) {
 sleep (60);
 }
 else {
 exit (0);
 }
 return 0;
}

Compile the C source code into an executable program:

gcc create_zombie_process.c

Start the program:

./a.out

Open a second Terminal and view the process list. You will now see a process with STAT: Z and the text: defunct
