10 PRINT in Rust vs C

Introduction

We’ve done 10PRINT on a lot of machines.

But we haven’t done a comparison between Rust and C.

For no particular reason, I thought it would be fun to compare the two languages side by side.

A race? Yes, please.

10 PRINT is a one-liner program that generates a maze-like pattern using the characters / and \.

The program is based on a one-liner BASIC program from the late 70s and 80s. There’s even been a book written about it called: “10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10”.
