Surely Rust will be better than both of these.

Not if you need to be able to hire a large number of developers for an investment bank. London has around 300K developers, many in fintech. There isn't that many Rust developers with say 10 -15 years fintech development experience.

Could someone point to C-like Java code real-world example? It would be awesome to see how the things are managed at a GC platform with most things on the heap.

You can have a look at https://github.com/OpenHFT however it is designed to have most data off heap.

This article is misguiding. “Java is better to programmer weak in c++ and in general cs.” Should be the title. Stop spamming with your bulshit.

In the real world projects, with the developers you can get, and the time frames you are given, not the developer you might want and any amount of time, Java can be a better choice.
