I'm surprised this comments section isn't made up of people talking about how we should never use C++ again and only use Rust from now on.

  That only happens in specially marked Rust-advocacy posts. More people pick up C++ to use professionally in any given week than the total population of working Rust coders. Rust is practically invisible outside hipster media.

      It's a hard language and people like to get paid for easy work... you don't have to dig into it much deeper than that. I've written too many LOC in C++ and I'll still gladly take a Python job as it requires 10% cognition but I'm under no illusion as to why I picked it.

  We should minimize the use of C and C++, and use safer languages instead, regardless of which. However in many domains the only mature options are C and C++, in which case my option will always be C++. There are lots of areas where Rust is still quite behind managed languages and C++, in IDE tooling, libraries, infrastructure.
