Tutorial: Python, Go and Rust for Network Automation a lovely battle

Python and Go are the most popular languages when we dealing with applications for network, but Rust is becoming a good candidate.
Examining Go, Python, and Rust for network automation is essential in today's networking domain. Python's versatility and extensive libraries, excel in simplifying tasks and device integration. Go's exceptional concurrency and performance are beneficial for managing large-scale automation operations efficiently. Rust, known for its safety features and high performance, offers a promising alternative for network automation, particularly in scenarios demanding robustness and security. Understanding the strengths of Python, Go, and Rust enables engineers to leverage the unique capabilities of each language, optimizing network operations, scalability, and security measures for contemporary network infrastructures.
