Go, Rust & Java Code Editor: Systems Programming Languages

Edit Go, Rust, and Java code with full syntax highlighting. Perfect for systems programming, backend development, and high-performance applications.

Write code in Go, Rust, and Java - three powerful languages for systems programming, backend development, and high-performance applications. Our editor provides full syntax highlighting and support for all three languages.

Go (Golang)

Go is Google's language for building fast, concurrent, and scalable applications.

Key Features

  • Simple syntax - easy to learn
  • Built-in concurrency with goroutines
  • Fast compilation
  • Excellent for microservices

Go Example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    // Goroutines for concurrency
    go printMessage("Hello")
    go printMessage("World")
    time.Sleep(time.Second)
}

func printMessage(msg string) {
    fmt.Println(msg)
}

Rust

Rust provides memory safety without garbage collection, perfect for systems programming.

Key Features

  • Memory safety without GC
  • Zero-cost abstractions
  • Ownership and borrowing system
  • Excellent performance

Rust Example

fn main() {
    let mut numbers = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    
    // Ownership and borrowing
    let doubled: Vec<i32> = numbers
        .iter()
        .map(|x| x * 2)
        .collect();
    
    println!("{:?}", doubled);
}

Java

Java is the enterprise standard for building large-scale applications.

Key Features

  • Platform-independent (Write Once, Run Anywhere)
  • Strong typing and OOP
  • Rich ecosystem and libraries
  • Enterprise-grade features

Java Example

public class Calculator {
    private int result;
    
    public Calculator() {
        this.result = 0;
    }
    
    public int add(int value) {
        result += value;
        return result;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Calculator calc = new Calculator();
        System.out.println(calc.add(10));
    }
}

When to Use Each Language

Choose Go When:

  • Building microservices or APIs
  • Need simple concurrency
  • Want fast compilation
  • Building CLI tools

Choose Rust When:

  • Need maximum performance
  • Building system-level software
  • Memory safety is critical
  • Working with WebAssembly

Choose Java When:

  • Building enterprise applications
  • Need extensive libraries
  • Working with Android
  • Team already knows Java

Syntax Highlighting

Our editor provides full syntax highlighting for all three languages:

  • Keywords and operators
  • Functions and methods
  • Strings and comments
  • Type annotations
  • Bracket matching
