I actually think that the scenario of Rust versus C++ is going to be quite interesting to see unravel, precisely because I don't think one is going to definitively weaken the other, but both be on their respective tails. This is because of the abnormally dramatic evolution C++ has seen over the past 5 years or so, and is hectically continuing. Though this has pretty much definitively made C++ too large for any single person, and there are some fundamental semantics that ensure Rust will always have the high ground in some areas, the lines related to functionality are getting blurrier.
