  1. But C++ already has the good ideas that Rust stole from it. Everyone claiming that any feature from Rust should be incorporated into C++ just doesn't know the language.

  2. You probably won't read this even if YouTube doesn't delete it, but as someone who has been learning Rust over the past two or three years, I can tell you that it's not a good programming language. Every feature that they tout as being so much better than C was already in C++ and done with a better syntax. If you write idiomatic C++ then it'll be just as safe as Rust yet more performant than Rust. However, C++ makes it easier to write this code and is easier on the eyes. Constructors in Rust are basically constructors in Object Pascal, except it resembles Java a bit more because of the jagged usage of memory handling functionality. The thing that Rustaceans don't seem to get is that not every pointer should be a smart_ or shared_ ptr. Just like when C# first cropped up, I hated this weak garbage of forcing an unsafe keyword on the users just to use code that makes sense. One of the key problems with Rust is that they added with syntax while C++ added with more code. Yeah, there were some dumb additions over the years in C++ to solve problems that shouldn't have existed in the first place, but they were generally well placed additions. First few that come to mind in case anyone does see this and asks, r-value references, attributes, lambda captures and arrow returns.

  3. I've seen very few projects tout being written in either C or C++ as a selling point over the past 25 years, and most that have are more recently created and intended to attract the anti-Rust programmers. Java was always a garbage, trendy language, so of course there were far too many projects that touted being written in it. Rustaceans are just the new Java users, but with a lame pun as their group identifier. That said, it almost sounds like you're confusing the language breakdown tool on GH as being something other than what it is.

  4.  @seancollins9745  It's either C or it's C++, not both. And those features are already in C++, and have been since before Rust existed.

  5. It's probably because they went too far to the dark side, aka LISP.
