  1. Rust is the most crappy awful language I've encountered in its class. I would rather write C code.

  2. ​ @morglod Rust was a completely screwed up language right from the get go. At least C++ had a sold foundation. Some of the recent additions to C++ are unnecessary and can be ignored if one chooses. I barely touch anything post C++11.

  3. Clickbait. C++ is still used widely for operating systems and other high performance application. The Chromium engine is written in C++, as are large chunks of the Windows OS. Over 90% of the code bases I worked on over the past 30 years were C++, and probably around 9% C. And this stuff is not being rewritten in some other newfangled language. It's stable. C and C++ combined hold 20% of the language market share, plus, there's a mountain of legacy code that won't be going away any time soon. Rust is at around 1% last time I checked. In favour of C and C++ is that it's better in low-level coding scenarios.

  4. ​ @tsalVlog I agree with budgetarms... I've been de eloping software in C++ for 30 years. I love it. I hate Rust with a vengence. It's just plain awful.
