I am concerned with the executable file size for that simple helloworld when I use Rust, Go and C++ on Windows with the following result which is surprising to me:
Rust is 4Mb, Go is 3Mb, while C++ is only 171kb.
It seems that for a simple console app, I cannot ignore C++. That's why I want to re-learn it in the correct way.
However, these 3 languages provides Struct and Pointer that I will feel like at home when learning them all.
Currently, for web backend that uses a compiled language, my 1st option is Go because of ease and quick development. Next is Java, followed by probably C#.

That's amazing, I think C ++ can't be a fighter because it would always win. Thanks for your comment.
